Was anyone else bothered by the way studies were cited in this article?

> 100% of CEOs report that they suffer from stress Anytime I see 100% I assume the study was bullshit.

> the death of a CEO causes a company's value to fluctuate by $65 million more today than it did 60 years ago (adjusted for inflation) I'm guessing the sample size here is pretty small or at very least a measure of absolute "fluctuation" doesn't seem like the right thing to measure. I can imagine a world where the death of Steve Jobs alone could have caused this effect. Also what was the fluctuation before was it $100 million? $1 million?
