SB - (my issue is that ceo's are making massive compensation due to massive and reckless credit creation that their skill didn't impact at all. earnings grow 15% while stocks appreciate 50%. too much money is the root cause and these ceos don't print money... most of the time ;-) ) The CEOs don't print money, but the company and shareholder results are highly sensitive to the CEO. If you could do a controlled experiment, trying 10 different CEOs for a given company and looking at the results 10 years downstream, you would see that the range of results could easily be 100's of billions of dollars of market cap, and that no two would likely give results within a billion dollars of each other. For the given company, it would be insane to try to economize on compensation if that produced any CEO except the one that projected out to be the one most suited to the given company. Regards, Don
