Want to send yet another message to Wall Street that we’re “mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore”? Care to show those who put money before morals that there are still those among us who believe that the only way to run a successful business is in an honest business environment?
While hedge funds continue to fail, brokers continue to fail to deliver, and the SEC continues to be a failure, there is one CEO who has put his reputation, his honor, and his ass on the line time and again, while others have been content to turn a blind eye to the problems that face our financial markets.
MarketWatch is soliciting votes for their Readers' Choice CEO of the Year. Rather than attempt to influence anyone’s opinion about who they should vote for, I’ll just say that for those of us who believe that honesty and integrity should never have been removed from the Mission Statement of the SEC, the choice is obvious (and if it’s not, I’ll give you a little hint below).
Vote early, vote often (okay, yeah, you can only vote once on your computer, but you know what I mean). Here’s how MarketWatch put it on their website:
This is your chance to let MarketWatch know who YOU think should be considered for the Readers' Choice CEO of the Year. To nominate the CEO of your choice, simply click on the button below.
Be sure to submit your nomination by Friday, October 27th to be included for consideration.
And remember, come back to MarketWatch November 13th to see if your nominee made the top 10. marketwatch.com And after you’ve finished voting, click on the Overstock.com (whose CEO is the one and only Patrick Byrne) link on The Faulking Truth homepage for all your holiday shopping needs, and send another clear message to Wall Street. We do reward honesty and integrity, and we do it through our pocketbooks.
Then, on November 7, 2006, you can send the clearest message of all to Congress by voting out any incumbent who hasn’t been an active advocate for stock market reform. Big money, big business, and special interests have owned America for far too long. It’s time to take back our neighborhoods, our cities, our states, and our country.
And that’s the Faulking Truth.
Editor's note: please feel free to repost or forward this message EVERYWHERE, so that Wall Street can hear it loud and clear.
