Should CEOs have a $1 Salary Like Steve Jobs?

Steve Jobs has had a $ 1 salary since 1997 when he came back to Apple as CEO. He is paid via stock options instead so his motivation is to run a excellent company and increase the stock price of Apple. He exercises his options but doesn’t sell his shares but holds onto them.

Only if they can afford it. The Apple structure has worked well for them.

Well they certainly shouldn’t have exorbitant salaries. One year our company’s CEO made $ 68,000 per hour. This was just before he ran it into the ground.

For example: Stock analysts estimates how much a stock is going to go up. Like Apple (aapl) the price is 125.00 at close and the 1y target estimate 168.22
Jim Cramer at times said its at 54.00 its going to go up to 70.00 how do they calculate it? is there a formula

Answer by Serge M
There is no formula. They are making educated guesses based on all the information they can get on the company. They look at current earnings, back orders, prospects for future earnings, the industry, the economy, demand for the type of harvest the company produces, they talk with management, then they estimate what the price might be if everything falls into place. It is as much art as science. More often than not the estimates are not assess.

There might be a formula. But every source probably uses their own formulas. For example, someone might reckon a company’s P/E ratio is a more vital business then their Earnings from Operations.

It’s guess work, nobody knows. In working with stock I lock at history to note spikes and lows and try to guess a pattern. By low and sell high and watch out for splits. Look at a time line of how the stock did over several years or more. The reports are basically free and you have to make sense of them. If you hire a service to guess for you that is all you get – a guess.

Answer by greagoirww
Their is in fact a formula. Their are about a dozen of them. Most get into intricate math dealing with coefficient of variation, standard deviation, and symbols that you have never heard of if you havn’t taken any finance courses.

I graduated with a degree in finance and at the end of four years the real simple answer is that it is all an educated guess. Expectations are based on indicators such as asking what is going on with consumer spending, if it is up then what companies stand to benefit from that increase. That is a simplified example but essentially it is how it works.

They determine the financial permanent of the company, that company’s ability to make money, and the risk that company is taking to make that money and determine a value for the stock that accounts for the company’s value, the makings and restore.
