Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Douglas A. McIntyre]

  In some cases, management decisions may not have had shareholders' best interests at heart. Freeport-McMoRan's (NYSE: FCX) acquisition of two oil producers in 2012 immediately raised questions of self-dealing and led to a shareholder lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged that, with six board members holding seats on one of the companies involved, Freeport directors were effectively using company funds to bail out their own investment.
