I think it's important for you and your competitors to be aware of how much value you've added to society at any given time - Your company's valuation does that pretty well. It holds people accountable. I'm sick of hearing the "it's outside of my control" argument when things go bad - The moment you "lose control" of the market, that's the moment you failed. When you are a leader in your field, there is no excuse for not understanding the market - It just means you got lazy.
