Trump rally makes stock options great again for some CEOs | Reuters

'Critics of stock options say the grants can produce large amounts of wealth for CEOs even with mediocre performance. '

'The figures reflect outstanding stock options that could be exercised at the end of 2015. ', "Dimon, a lifelong Democrat, has seen his stock options surge in value by more than $50 million to $146 million since the Republican candidate's White House win."

'Stock options held by Dow 30 CEOs surged in value by 23 percent to about $1 billion in 2016, with most of the gain coming after Trump’s election win. '

'In a few cases, CEOs exercised some of those options during 2016, U.S. regulatory filings show. '

This has been an automated message.

So, the prospect of a real economic turn around is causing market confidence to take an upswing and stock prices to rise, and because CEOs hold a lot of stock they are benefiting.

Can anyone explain the issue here to me? Market value rising helps everyone in the entire country. Of course the people most heavily invested in it are going to benefit the most, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
