If I don't like seeing the company's shareholders raped to the tune of 400 million, I should go out and become one of them? Whenever I see assholes lining their pockets with the shareholder's dough, I short-sell the stock. The federal budget is at record levels too, should we give GWB a healthy chunk of it for a reward? He deserves it as much as the fellows who happen to be at the helms of oil and precious metal firms during this windfall. Executive compensation has gotten way out of hand, they treat stockholders' money like politicians treat taxpayers' money. With the CEOs sitting on the boards of each other's companies, it's becoming case of "I'll vote for your comp package if you'll vote for mine". (gee, that does sound a lot like the way Congress works, doesn't it?) Mitch.
