I think he meant that the people who run a company are what he doesn't
necessarily trust. While the people who work there may be ok the
controlling party (ie. board, ceo, etc) may be more interested in doing
whatever to drive the stock price to not only look good on wall street
but to also protect their jobs and more importantly guarantee
themselves a healthy bonus and/ or stock options equal to, or
exceeding, the entire gross national product of a small nation.
