David Einhorn: Maybe It’s Time To Asking Questions Like, “Why The F*ck Did A Startup Texting Service Sell For $19 Billion?” And once again, certain “cool kid” companies and the cheerleading analysts are pretending that compensation paid in equity isn’t an expense because it is “non-cash.” Would these companies be able to retain their highly talented workforces if they stopped doling out large amounts of equity?
