> If you give a medium-sized public corporation a faucet that spews money at a constant rate forever and a button that has a 60% chance to double the money and a 40% chance to destroy the faucet, I suspect that most corporations would push that button at least once every few years.

If the shareholders, who management has a fiduciary duty to, are well-diversified, this might even be the right decision.

Basically, if it's mostly index funds and mutual funds holding your stock, you probably should push that button every so often.
