I think they are different levels of bad. To paraphrase the old adage, If sales takes over your company, be wary. If accounts take over, start looking for a new job. If lawyers take over quit.

I mean, and I’m thinking more in the context of retirement investments here, the moment any of those things happen I’m inclined to jump ship. I am thoroughly unaware of any time such a move has turned out well in the long run. Same sentiment for stock buybacks, though that one because if that’s the best thing the company can think of to spend money on they are completely out of good ideas.
