'Perky' Stocks: Do Country Clubs Make a Difference?

I checked the returns for the five stocks (DDR, PFIS.OB, SNV, SORC, TSG) over a one year, two year, and five year period, and in all cases, three out of the five stocks outperformed. My personal opinion is that although paying for these perks may be distasteful, I think it is OK in order to retain outstanding executives of stocks that perform extremely well (not necessarily these particular stocks). Whatever the compensation is, large bonus, stock options, country club dues, free apartment, or whatever, as long as the company and the company's stock performance is excellent.
