"ps i'd call any ceo a clown if i held his stock and it was down by over half..."

The ceo can exert some influence on his companies sales, earnings, roe, etc. He has very little control of the vagaries of the quoted stock price.

I held Amat from 10 to 60 to 21 and then to 150. It went to 200+. I don't think James Morgan was a clown because the stock sank in the Asian contagion, by almost 2/3. 50% sell offs are very routine.
