From my point of view, if a person was right that X Corp was sacrificing the long term for short term profits, and that nobody else has cottoned on to it, they would be making a fortune shorting the stock.
I.e. if they were so sure they were right, they'd be willing to put money on it.
As for me, as mentioned before, I put my money where my theories are. I'm a long term investor (riding the booms and busts up and down) and have done satisfyingly well for it. I've had my failures, too, riding Enron right down to zero :-) but overall it's been good.
