CNN President Jeff Zucker Hints At Future Political Ambitions - Duration: 3:04.

CNN, president, Jeff Zucker is leaving open the possibility that in the future he may

actually run for office.

He actually made these comments during a recent appearance on the axe files, which is hosted

by a former Obama official, David Axelrod, when Axelrod asked him where he sees himself

in five years.

And uh, one of the things he said, I'm still very interested in politics and, uh, it's

something I would consider now this is not a firm like I am going to run for office.

I'm going to run for Senate or House or hell even president.

But it's problematic because Jeff Zucker is a guy who has spent his entire career working

for the corporate controlled media.

The corporate controlled is the key aspect there at CNN.

He has done nothing but help to push the idea that the United States needs to be involved

in as many words as possible.

He is taken money from defense contractors in the form of advertising.

He's taken money from Big Pharma in the form of advertising.

He's taken money from every major polluter, every major corporation that screwing over

their workers.

All of that money comes to Jeff Zucker and his network in the form of advertising, Jeff

Zucker, whether he wants to admit it or not, is 100 percent owned and controlled by corporations.

We do not need him running for office.

I.

What is it with, with rich and powerful white guys that makes them automatically assume

like, I've got money and I'm an asshole.

Maybe I should run for public office.

Hell, if that's all it takes.

All I'm missing at this point as a little bit of money, but really we need people who

understand what's happening in the world who understand how to run a country.

Can we stop?

Can we stop with the speculation on idiots like Zucker and back in the day it was trump.

Can we stop with all this?

That just because somebody knows kind of how to run a business that they would be good

for this country.

Trump has proven that to be a lie.

He cannot run this country.

He has done a horrible job with it.

His disaster response is absolutely abysmal and now we got another guy, Jeff Zucker who

has helped push us in the endless wars, who accepts money from any corporation willing

to pay, and there is no evidence whatsoever that he would be any different as a politician

if what he is doing to CNN were to translate itself into a political candidate.

Is that somebody you want to vote for somebody who likes to beat the drums of war against

Iran or North Korea or Russia or whoever it is that particular day.

Somebody who will take money from the most egregious polluters on the planet, somebody

that takes money from fossil fuel companies and pharmaceutical companies who are price

gouging, American consumers every day.

Is that the kind of candidate you want?

Because if it is, then Jeff Zucker might just be the candidate for you.

U.S. Looks for a Deal with China; Apple Finds a Deal with Amazon - Duration: 20:36.

Chris Hill: It's Monday, December 3rd. Welcome to MarketFoolery! I'm Chris Hill.

Joining me in studio today, Jason Moser, where he belongs. Thanks for being here!

Jason Moser: It's my happy place! I'm happy to be here!

Hill: Thank you to any listeners who survived the bonus episode over the weekend. If you

skipped it, good news, we're going to be talking about the market again. And we're going

to dip into the Fool mailbag. We should probably start with the market itself,

which is up pretty big this morning on the latest trade announcement. In this case,

it's that the leaders of this country and of China have said "Hey, why don't we take a break

for the holidays? Why don't we just call a little truce and get back to this? Step outside,

have a cigarette. We'll get back to this sometime down the road."

Moser: Yeah, why not? You're right, the market is up today. It was funny, I think I saw something

cross my Twitter feed on Saturday about this. The next step in my mind is, "Oh my God,

the market is going to go ballistic on Monday with this news, it'll be so happy." Of course,

futures were indicating upwards of 450, 500 points on the Dow. That's how it opened.

You look at it now, as of taping, and you're looking at a Dow up maybe 150 points. The S&P,

same basic thing, up just a little bit more than 0.5%. I think perhaps the euphoria is wearing off.

The fact of the matter is, like you said, this is, "Let's take a break." It's not a resolution?

It always befuddles me as to why you see such enthusiasm on news like this

when you know essentially nothing has been accomplished. That's where we are. If anything,

maybe this buys a little bit more time in that there is not some bottom line solution

or compromise that has been reached that one side's not very happy with. At the end of the day,

for all of what President Trump is trying to accomplish, and obviously,

I think he still prides himself on being a dealmaker, this is probably just part of that,

figuring out how to reach the fairest deal for both sides involved. I'm sure something will come

out of all of this, but who knows when that'll be in.

This really is, in a nutshell, why we invest the way we do here. Doing the work upfront

on the businesses that we want to own, understanding that you can't avoid situations like this.

If you're going to be an investor, you're going to run into situations like this.

You don't want to be making investing decisions based on these types of non-events.

Hill: Right. You look at the comments from President Trump, President Xi, if nothing else,

headlines like this are maybe a good opportunity for investors to pause for a second and say,

"Well, wait a minute. What are the stocks in my portfolio that might be impacted by this?"

And if you're, say, a shareholder of Caterpillar, if you own one of the big automakers,

that situation, then yeah, this is something you have to consider a little

bit more closely as opposed to if you look in your portfolio and you own, say, Home Depot

or Dunkin' Brands or something like that that's not as exposed to this type of trade talk.

Moser: Yeah. I mean, good businesses are going to be good businesses regardless of this type

of news. It made me think back a little bit further to Alibaba and Jack Ma. The reason

why I say that is, the headline that seems to come out of here is that ultimately,

President Trump is trying to get China to buy more American stuff, to balance that trade deficit a little bit.

And I get that. That makes sense. You want some sort of equilibrium there.

To that point, though, one of Jack Ma's goals in Alibaba, in growing that business in the retail space

in China, was to make China more of an importer, to bring more stuff into China as opposed

to sending all that stuff out. So, that headline today is certainly in line with what Jack Ma

has been trying to do at Alibaba all along. And Alibaba matters, obviously. It's a tremendous company,

and it does a lot of business, and it's responsible for a lot of the money that

flows through China's system. I think that makes a lot of sense.

For an economy like China's to continue to evolve and advance, they're going to need to become

more of an importer. That's bringing things in from places like the United States or Brazil

or Russia. Those are the countries that Ma has even called out. That's in line with

what we're seeing today. I'd like to believe they can get to that point some time or another.

It's going to take some time, obviously. I tend to look at these types of headlines and think, OK,

it's nice when the market pops on news like this. It doesn't make me

want to do anything differently. I kind of like it when the bad news comes out and you see

the market overreact to the downside, because then there is an opportunity to add a company

or two to your portfolio that you don't own. These days, you have to be ready to pull that trigger.

News travels so quickly, the market adjusts a lot more quickly than it did 10, 20 years ago.

Hill: To go back to something I've said before,

one of the things I've learned in my investing lifetime is -- and when I say I've learned it,

I've learned it the hard way -- don't fall in love with a price. Don't fall in love

with an exact price, where you look at a stock and you say, "Well, I want it to fall to this point."

To what you just said, we are seeing these types of drops, and they show up in

individual stocks in the form of a 5% discount. That's really the question you need to be

ready to pull the trigger on. "I like this, it's on my watchlist. Now it's 5% cheaper."

What are you going to do?  Moser: I go back to a lesson that my father

taught me years ago as a kid, learning how stocks worked. He always said, and he says

it even today, listen, you're never going to buy at the bottom and sell at the top.

It's just not going to happen. When you buy a stock, be ready for it to go down and be

worth less than what you paid for it at some point. And at some point down the road, you're

going to sell. And you're going to look back there later on, and that stock will probably

be higher at some point, too. So, to your point there, yeah, don't get too married to

a particular price point. Understanding the company, it's general worth, the longer that

you stretch that timeline out, the less that price at that moment really matters.

I'm a big believer that price matters. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying buy at any price.

But don't get too anchored when opportunity presents itself. Sometimes you just have to

go ahead and take the plunge. Hill: Let's spend a minute or two on a story

that broke late last week. This is not one of those stories that really moves stocks

in any significant way, but it does move the landscape of an industry. In this case,

we're talking about the entertainment industry, and more specifically streaming music.

That is the announcement that Apple Music is now going to be available on Amazon Echo devices.

I'm curious what you think about this. Anytime there's a partnership, any kind of a deal,

one of the ways to think about it is, who are the winners and losers? Are they both winners?

That sort of thing. I haven't really decided where I come down on this,

except I think this is a win for anyone who believes that smart speakers are growing as an industry

and will continue to grow. I don't look at this necessarily as a big win for Amazon or

a big loss for Apple, although I do think it is a slight win for Amazon and...

maybe not a loss for Apple, but certainly an admission that HomePod, which is their smart speaker,

those things aren't flying off the shelves. Moser: Yeah. I think that's it. You have to take

the wins and losses in context. It's not something where Apple's going to be going

out of business. But this is a clear sign of a couple of things. I think it makes

a lot of sense. I really do applaud Apple for seeing the forest for the trees here and recognizing

that if you don't own an Apple device, there's really no incentive to use Apple Music.

Now, you may say, "Well, half the country owns an Apple device." And you would be right.

Basically half the country here has an iPhone. But Android is the operating system around the world.

That's the operating system that dominates the landscape globally.

From that perspective, thinking outside of our domestic box here, Apple Music has a lot of hurdles to clear.

That's why Spotify has done so well for so long.

To me, we've seen Apple looking to make this move towards becoming more of a services company.

They're not going to be reporting units sold when it comes to hardware going forward.

On the flip side, they are going to give us more transparency into the costs involved with

building out that Services business. I think that'll be really helpful.

For me, this is a sure sign that HomePod is not flying off the shelves. I don't know anyone

personally who has one. I had a hard time ever making the leap that the masses would

be going out to buy one. It's priced at a level where you can't even really have it

in the same conversation with an Amazon Echo or Google Home. There are going to be plenty

of Apple fanatics who want to have a HomePod because they want a premium speaker, but frankly,

if you want a premium speaker, Bose has a pretty good brand out there.

Hill: Sonos, as well. Moser: Yeah. So, to me, an implicit admission

that HomePod isn't really working out so well. Not a big surprise. I don't think this is

anything that moves the needle for either company. This is something that people who

have Apple Music, it's one more way for them to get it. Speaking as someone who has a few

Echo devices in the home along with an iPhone in my pocket, I don't use Apple Music, I can't

imagine I ever will, so generally speaking, this is less about acquisition and more about

engagement and retention of those who do have Apple Music here domestically.

Hill: As you said, they're not going out of business. They're still attempting to sell

the HomePods. It does, however, seem like this is one more step towards the investments

that Apple is making in Apple Music. You look at what they did with Beats, there are numerous

reports in trade publications that Apple is in talks with iHeartMedia, which is the largest

broadcast radio company in America, about possibly either making an investment or flat-out

acquiring iHeartMedia. So, they do appear to be looking to build out that ecosystem even more.

Moser: If you want to be a services company

-- and by services, I mean distributing media content -- then you want as big of an audience

as you can possibly have. That means that you have to cross platforms. If you're going

to just maintain that that walled garden, then you're going to do fine here domestically

-- again, you've got half the country's attention. I don't know that you're really ever going

to get much more than that. And globally, clearly, you're not going to ever come close

to that. So, if you want to be a services company, and you want that to become a bigger

part of the business, then you've got to reach out to as many partners as you can. And Amazon's

a great partner. Apple's a great partner, too. I love to see two companies like this

come together. I'm a big fan of Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos. To see these two companies doing

stuff like this... I hope we see them doing more together, because I think ultimately,

consumers can only win. Hill: Our e-mail address is marketfoolery@fool.com.

Question from Ed, who writes, "I saw an article written by Dan Kline about 30 CEOs making

more than $30 million a year. It got me thinking. When analyzing a company and putting together

your investment thesis, how much consideration do you put into CEO pay? Thanks for all the insight,

love the podcast." Thank you, Ed, for the kind comment and for listening.

Good question. You go first. How much does that factor into your investment thesis?

Moser: It's not something on its own that determines the ultimate action to be taken,

but it matters. It can tell you a lot about the individual running the company.

With that in mind, it can be squishy. You have to figure, how old is the company? How long has it been

a publicly traded company? Is there a track record? What are the types of things that

incentive bonuses are based on? Under Armour is a good example. A project I did a number

of years ago here at The Fool, looking at Under Armour and the incentive bonus program

that they had, what were the metrics that that incentive bonus was based on.

And it was net revenue growth, operating income as a percentage of revenue, and inventory turn.

And to me, those were very relevant metrics. They tell you the business is growing.

They can't really be manipulated too much. It was nice to see something like that.

There is a form that investors can look at to get a better idea of exactly how executive

compensation is laid out there. If you look at the table of contents of the schedule 14-A,

and that's an SEC form. If you go to EDGAR, you can pull up the 14-A. There's a table

of contents entry there for executive compensation. You can read through that to get a better

idea of who's making what and how all of that is determined. I like, further, to look for

companies where executives have big ownership stakes. I always make sure to tell people,

that's not something that determines yes or no, but it does tell you exactly where their

interests lie. If someone owns a lot of the company, then that's a lot of incentive to

make sure it's performing well. But, it's not always necessarily a good indicator.

You can look at Amazon as a mature company, and Snap, we can pick on Snap a little bit here.

Even though it's still brand new, the fact of the matter is, when Snap went public, co-founder

Evan Spiegel got somewhere around $600 million for a CEO award which was based on just taking

the company public. Nothing more than just IPO-ing! Now, we could argue that Snap isn't

even worth $600 million at this point. The market's telling you it is, but hey,

let's be clear, the math ain't really making sense here yet.

Hill: I don't think you and I would technically argue about that.

Moser: No, I don't think we would. Maybe a listener or two would. But, this goes back

to understanding a little bit more about who's steering the ship there. And I look at that,

and I just think, wow. That's really taking a lot of credit for something you haven't

done yet. Just taking a company public... I'm not saying that's not significant.

It is. But for an executive to make the kind of money that Evan Spiegel is making,

there's a lot of success already implied there, and he's come nowhere close to proving that out.

You flip the coin over there, and Jeff Bezos, obviously, over time, has really proven out there.

And his salary is actually extremely modest. I mean, extremely modest.

Now, he owns almost 20% of Amazon, so he's got that going for him, too.

Hill: Which is nice. Moser: It's squishy, but those are the types

of things you want to look at. It definitely matters.

Moser: I would say for me, it's on the checklist. It's not high on the checklist, but it is

one of those things that I like to see. I tend to look more at not just the straight up salary,

but the combined, what is the salary, what is the ownership.

One other thing, particularly if you're buying shares of a more mature company, and this is

one of those things that I don't think shows up in official SEC filings, but companies

sometimes will announce this, sometimes you'll see CEOs selling shares. And it's not really

put out there in any big way that they're on a schedule. For a very long time,

this was the case with Bill Gates. Steve Case in the heydays of AOL was doing this, as well.

And people would say, "Oh, Steve Case is selling shares of AOL!" Well, he set that up as,

I guess the exact opposite of direct deposit. It's just automatic selling. That's just one

more thing once you own shares. It's definitely something to look at. To your point, it really

does speak to the overall ethos and culture of how the company views compensation,

or certainly how the management does. Moser: I'm glad you brought that up. Another

example I like to look at, this was a fascinating story as Twitter's IPO and existence as a

publicly traded company evolved over time. Obviously, there were some leadership issues there.

Jack Dorsey came back a few years ago to try to help right things. These are the

kinds of things that tell you a little bit more about the kind of person that you're

dealing with in the executive suite. I mean, he gave a third of his Twitter stock -- which

was essentially 1% of the company -- back to the employee bonus pool like. That was

stock that he was able to basically give back to the company in order for the company to

then be able to attract new talent, without having to go dilute the shareholder base again.

He was basically saying, "I own a big chunk of this company already. I'm going to give

a little bit of what I have here, knowing that this is a long-term bet on bringing good

talent here, and ultimately we're going to be successful and be a lot bigger than we

already are." That was a fairly selfless act on his part, I thought. I think his actions

with Twitter and Square tell you a lot about the kind of person he is. I think he's a good person.

You can look at those little times throughout

their existence as executives to get a better idea of the kind of people that they are.

Jeff Bezos, same kind of thing. His history is littered with being able to give that money

away to good causes. And we have more seasoned leaders who are coming to the tail end of

their careers. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, whoever. They're talking about making sure

they give all of their money away. I think that's really respectable, too. You see those

types of things, they can help you understand a bit more what kind of person you're dealing with.

Hill: Two quick things before we wrap up.

First, as some may have heard, the market here in the United States is going to be closed

on Wednesday, December 5th. It has been declared a National Day of Mourning in honor of former

president George HW Bush, with the funeral in D.C. happening that day. Be aware of that.

Second, as mentioned in our bonus episode, it's now December, which means,

for the fourth year in a row, the holiday music on MarketFoolery has begun.

Producer Dan Boyd, he loves this month.

Moser: Yes he does.

Hill: And listeners love this month because of that. Tonight is the second night of Hanukkah,

so we'll leave it to producer Dan Boyd to work his magic. Jason Moser, thanks for being here!

Moser: Thank you!

and Financials. Check it out! One click of the button, and you can subscribe to Industry Focus.

As always, people on the program may have

interest in the stocks they talk about, and The Motley Fool may have formal recommendations

for or against, so don't buy or sell stocks based solely on what you hear.

That's going to do it for this edition of MarketFoolery. The show is mixed by Dan Boyd. I'm Chris Hill.

22 Things You Missed In The Happy Death Day 2U Trailer - Duration: 6:40.

If you want to see my theory about the secret behind this mysterious machine at the end

of the trailer, then stick around to the end of this video.

(Intro)

Anything I mentioned in my previous Happy Death Day videos won't be in this video, so

if you don't know the meaning of these posters and you want to relive the day you watched

those videos, then check out this playlist.

And obviously there will be spoilers for the first movie.

In those videos on the original film, I mostly focused on the decorations on this side of

the room.

But there were a couple notable things to catch my eye on the other side, such as these

but I'll come back those later in the video.

First, I want to look at this poster.

It's the cover of a book called Pulse of Power.

I haven't read the book myself, but here's a summary I found on Google books.

Destiny is always a choice!

Tia Stanton is not an ordinary woman.

Created from a mystical rite, she is birthed into a world where chaos and organization

run side by side; where monster and man live in unison but rarely with recognition of each

other.

Until the race begins -- a fight to gain access to the pool of power lying beneath her hometown

of Greenwich, Connecticut.

It coincides with her twenty-fifth birthday and her last chance to accept the full mantel

of this supernatural power.

There are a lot of parallels between the protagonist Tia Stanton, and Tree Gelbman from Happy Death

Day.

They are both female protagonists with a supernatural aspect in their respective stories.

Both have a major test of character that lands on their birthday and both have the sole responsibility

of overcoming their circumstances.

Looking back to that shelf in Carter's dorm room, there is also a mini-basketball.

There is also a basketball hoop on the back of their door which can be seen more clearly

in the first film.

Remember, Christopher Landon has been planning this sequel all along, so foreshadowing the

fact that Carter and his roommate Ryan are basketball fans may be related to the fact

that Happy Death Day 2U has a scene taking place at their college's basketball game.

And in the basketball scene, we get a bit more info about the branding of their college

team The Babies.

They are playing a team called the Tritons and losing pretty badly.

Some of the team's slogans seen in the stands include Welcome to the Cradle, The Cradle

Will Rock, Babies Gonna Deliver, which, to prevent any of you from ending up on the wooosh

subreddit, is a pun about babies being newborns and newborns being found in the delivery room

at a hospital.

There's also a banner reading "Naptime for Thurman".

I'm guessing Thurman is probably the star player of the Tritons.

The one that interests me most though is this one that says"Baby Gang".

Could this be a hint that there are multiple killers?

We do see other shots in the trailer with multiple baby masks, and even instances where

there are other baby masks in the room seeing the violence happen to show that they are

possibly affiliated.

It's also interesting because if you remember last year when I went into the Happy Death

Day maze at Halloween Horror nights, there was a room with a bunch of those baby-mask

killers, something that wasn't really a scene in the first movie, unlike everything else

we saw in that maze.

In addition to there possibly being multiple killers who don the baby mask, it looks like

there will also be suspense about who the actually killer is, and who is just wearing

the mask because they're a fan of the team.

I spotted Ryan in the background in the crowd with Tree and Carter after the game.

He's also wearing black and it appears this is shortly before they get chased by a baby-mask

with a black hoodie.

We don't have enough info for me to really make any predictions, but I'm inclined to

add him to my list of suspects.

By the way, in this scene in the trailer where Tree offers Ryan advice about being stuck

in the time loop, she mentions the following.

"I might be able to help with that.

I died 11 times."

But hold on.

She only died 10 times in Happy Death Day.

That means she's already back in the time-loop before this conversation takes place.

To make matters more complicated, this isn't the exact same day she re-lived before, because

in this timeline, there's also someone going after Lori, the killer from the first movie.

And speaking of that first movie, there are of course, a few callbacks like this knife

through the door during a kill, Tree's walk of shame, a visit to the hospital ward and

this scene with Tree skydiving in her underwear (possibly a reference to the time Tree goes

nude during the first one) just to mess with people because she knows the day will reset.

On the skydiving plane, there is a poster briefly seen towards the front of the aircraft

that has the words, like a leaf.

The quote is common cliche, and a metaphor for helplessness, but in this case, may also

be a reference to a character from the TV show Firefly whose catchphrase is, "I am a

leaf in the wind, watch how I soar," which has a bit of a different meaning in the content

of skydiving obviously, but could be representative of the themes of Happy Death Day, since trees

have leaves, and Tree is the name of the character who is trying to take control and find the

better version of her life, as she says in the trailer.

"But now I'm living the better version of my life."

If you watched my Things You Missed in Happy Death Day, one thing I talked about was how

the street signs used as decorations throughout the movie were symbols of the flow of time,

and how the one-way sign seen at the end of the film meant that now that Tree has broken

the curse she won't have to go back to the beginning of that day anymore, time will only

flow in one direction.

In the trailer, we see that sign again, this time through a mirror, meaning the only way

to go for her now is backwards in time in order to solve the puzzle yet again and break

the curse.

This time, it seems like there's more to it than just that and it has something to do

with this machine.

If we quickly rewind to the beginning of the trailer, there are a couple of books on this

shelf on the topics of biochemistry and molecular cloning, and in the trailer after firing up

this machine, Ryan can be seen briefly coming face to face with himself.

Could this have something to do with the fact that after each day is reset, Tree's body

is unharmed, but her memories of the previous day are somehow transferred to the new body?

Will Happy Death Day 2U finally explain why Tree is stuck in this loop in the first place?

If this trailer is any indication, we'll be learning a lot more about the logistics of

the time travel in this universe.

Now when I gave the DeadTalk about Happy Death Day 2U, I predicted that the new time loop

would take place on Valentine's Day and the 2U was a reference to those candy hearts.

We now know this not to be the case, however, my new theory on "2U" is that it's a reference

to the passive aggressive language Tree and her sorority use to communicate with each

other, as seen in the first movie.

*music*

Finally, there's one pretty creepy thing you might have missed in the title animation,

the face of the killer's mask is reflected in the knife.

1 Big Red Flag Sent Tiffany & Co. Shares Tumbling - Duration: 2:30.

Chris Hill: Let's start with Tiffany. Help me to understand this.

Third quarter revenue for Tiffany was light, the same-store sales were lower than expected.

I wasn't expecting that Tiffany's stock would have its worst day in nearly four years.

This wasn't a good report, but is it, "Wow, this is the worst day in nearly four years" bad?

Bill Barker: No, it's not that bad.

The reason for the weakness in the top line specifically was China.

Whether it's tourists coming here or selling in China, if the Tiffany brand is not resonating

either because of a perspective on the United States currently by Chinese consumers or something else,

that is a big chunk of where you want your growth to be coming from in future years.

I don't know if you start subtracting that from your growth equations or whether you

just say this is a blip caused by current politics or what.

But I think that's the question the market is asking by selling the stock off today.

Hill: This was not, as we've seen in some cases, a situation where Tiffany shares had

been run up to some enormous degree.

I'm wondering when you look at the stock now, do you see it as a value play?

Is this a cheap stock right now?

That always seems odd to say when you're talking about a company that's known for selling diamonds.

Barker: I don't know that I would call it a cheap stock right now.

Then again, there are a lot of companies that I would say, even after a significant decline, are not cheap.

At 22X earnings, no, not really.

It's doesn't have the sort of growth story that would make me especially interested in

it at that price, especially if you've got questions about how things are going to play

out with China, maybe not over the long-term so much, but I don't have any good read on

what's going to happen there over the next couple of years.

Is CEO Pay Important for Investors? Yes, but so is Performance - Duration: 7:14.

Chris Hill: Question from Ed, who writes, "I saw an article written by Dan Kline about

30 CEOs making more than $30 million a year. It got me thinking.

When analyzing a company and putting together your investment thesis, how much consideration

do you put into CEO pay? Thanks for all the insight, love the podcast."

Thank you, Ed, for the kind comment and for listening. Good question. You go first.

How much does that factor into your investment thesis?

Jason Moser: It's not something on its own that determines the ultimate action to be taken,

but it matters. It can tell you a lot about the individual running the company.

With that in mind, it can be squishy.

You have to figure, how old is the company? How long has it been a publicly traded company?

Is there a track record? What are the types of things that incentive bonuses are based on?

Under Armour is a good example.

A project I did a number of years ago here at The Fool, looking at Under Armour and the

incentive bonus program that they had, what were the metrics that that incentive bonus was based on.

And it was net revenue growth, operating income as a percentage of revenue, and inventory turn.

And to me, those were very relevant metrics. They tell you the business is growing.

They can't really be manipulated too much. It was nice to see something like that.

There is a form that investors can look at to get a better idea of exactly how executive

compensation is laid out there.

If you look at the table of contents of the schedule 14-A, and that's an SEC form.

If you go to EDGAR, you can pull up the 14-A. There's a table of contents entry there for

executive compensation.

You can read through that to get a better idea of who's making what and how all of that is determined.

I like, further, to look for companies where executives have big ownership stakes.

I always make sure to tell people, that's not something that determines yes or no,

but it does tell you exactly where their interests lie.

If someone owns a lot of the company, then that's a lot of incentive to make sure it's performing well.

But, it's not always necessarily a good indicator.

You can look at Amazon as a mature company, and Snap, we can pick on Snap a little bit here.

Even though it's still brand new, the fact of the matter is, when Snap went public,

co-founder Evan Spiegel got somewhere around $600 million for a CEO award which was based on just

taking the company public. Nothing more than just IPO-ing!

Now, we could argue that Snap isn't even worth $600 million at this point.

The market's telling you it is, but hey, let's be clear, the math ain't really making sense here yet.

Hill: I don't think you and I would technically argue about that.

Moser: No, I don't think we would. Maybe a listener or two would.

But, this goes back to understanding a little bit more about who's steering the ship there.

And I look at that, and I just think, wow.

That's really taking a lot of credit for something you haven't done yet. Just taking a company public...

I'm not saying that's not significant. It is.

But for an executive to make the kind of money that Evan Spiegel is making, there's a lot

of success already implied there, and he's come nowhere close to proving that out.

You flip the coin over there, and Jeff Bezos, obviously, over time, has really proven out there.

And his salary is actually extremely modest. I mean, extremely modest.

Now, he owns almost 20% of Amazon, so he's got that going for him, too.

Hill: Which is nice.

Moser: It's squishy, but those are the types of things you want to look at. It definitely matters.

Moser: I would say for me, it's on the checklist.

It's not high on the checklist, but it is one of those things that I like to see.

I tend to look more at not just the straight up salary, but the combined, what is the salary,

what is the ownership.

One other thing, particularly if you're buying shares of a more mature company, and this

is one of those things that I don't think shows up in official SEC filings, but companies

sometimes will announce this, sometimes you'll see CEOs selling shares.

And it's not really put out there in any big way that they're on a schedule.

For a very long time, this was the case with Bill Gates.

Steve Case in the heydays of AOL was doing this, as well.

And people would say, "Oh, Steve Case is selling shares of AOL!"

Well, he set that up as, I guess the exact opposite of direct deposit. It's just automatic selling.

That's just one more thing once you own shares. It's definitely something to look at.

To your point, it really does speak to the overall ethos and culture of how the company

views compensation, or certainly how the management does.

Moser: I'm glad you brought that up.

Another example I like to look at, this was a fascinating story as Twitter's IPO and existence

as a publicly traded company evolved over time. Obviously, there were some leadership issues there.

Jack Dorsey came back a few years ago to try to help right things.

These are the kinds of things that tell you a little bit more about the kind of person

that you're dealing with in the executive suite.

I mean, he gave a third of his Twitter stock -- which was essentially 1% of the company

-- back to the employee bonus pool like.

That was stock that he was able to basically give back to the company in order for the

company to then be able to attract new talent, without having to go dilute the shareholder base again.

He was basically saying, "I own a big chunk of this company already.

I'm going to give a little bit of what I have here, knowing that this is a long-term bet

on bringing good talent here, and ultimately we're going to be successful and be a lot

bigger than we already are." That was a fairly selfless act on his part, I thought.

I think his actions with Twitter and Square tell you a lot about the kind of person he is.

I think he's a good person.

You can look at those little times throughout their existence as executives to get a better

idea of the kind of people that they are. Jeff Bezos, same kind of thing.

His history is littered with being able to give that money away to good causes.

And we have more seasoned leaders who are coming to the tail end of their careers.

Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, whoever.

They're talking about making sure they give all of their money away.

I think that's really respectable, too.

You see those types of things, they can help you understand a bit more what kind of person

you're dealing with.

Measuring Velocity with a Camera - Duration: 1:37.

Yes, you can measure velocity with a camera, not that I'm likely to do it again.

I want to know how fast objects are moving but I don't have any

specialized equipment. What I do have is my camera which can shoot video at 60

frames per second. My theory was that if I have linear motion along a calibrated

scale I can determine how far the object has moved into sixtieth of a second and

thus velocity. Some assumptions I made is that the camera is taking the frame

exactly one sixtieth of a second apart, also I don't know how long my camera

takes to capture a frame and thus how much of an effect rolling shutter would

have on the positions. I do believe that things moving across the long axis of

the frame would be unaffected and as this is the primary motion of the NERF

darts I was testing the velocity of, I assume that it does not have a

significant effect. I brought my camera shutter down to one four thousandth of a

second to reduce motion blur. Getting the footage is not that hard determining the

velocities was. Editing it down and then counting the frame took hours and hours

for the 88 shots I took. For one or two shots the time needed is reasonable,

but the number of samples needed so in consistencies average out would

take way too much time. I was originally planning to try to make some

generalizations about the nerf guns and darts used but there were too many

variables for that to work. If you would like to look at my data a spreadsheet is

linked in the description.
