Well, that's why I said... what's a few months or a year? Especially for a man of his position, the trust placed in him, and his personal and potential net worth... I know he's not getting any younger, but neither are you or I... and I know that my paltry two year wait is not comparable to his ten year wait... but IMHO... that's the price that is paid for the position of trust, authority, and power. I think he shot himself in the foot and that shot foot is going to hurt him much longer than that nice apartment will please him. Think about it. Now he's open for non-verbal sidelong glances (from those who might never have dared to express doubt before) in high level meetings with investors, potential investors, and analysts, when his judgement or views of the future might be questioned or problematic, now he's open for shareholder heightened skepticism (and hostility). IMO it will tighten him up, and probably the whole company, in a productive way for the company as a whole. That's why I say in this case, "better the devil you know." Just my opinions, Ed
