Despite being a successful company, with millions of users worldwide, Opera Software has been losing large amounts of money over the years, and the share holders weren’t happy about that.

So, in a surprising, move, the CEO of Opera Software, one of Norway’s most successful high-tech firms, fired the board of the directors, when he found out that they were planning on firing him.

Even though that measure will save him his job, it certainly won’t give the company good reputation, and their shares will probably drop even lower. Would you be willing to invest in a company that does such things?
