I guess the CEO has other things to do like running the company for example.You don't expect him to watch the movement of the stock tick by tick at the expense of minding the store now do you????

Are C.E.O. does not care. Huh? Rave, you joined SI 7/10/99 - your 1st post was to the notorious Mr. Pink's short thread affirming a short-sell recommendation on another stock. Your only other posts are to this thread pecking at OUR C.E.O. or Goldman Sachs or a combination. So what's your end game, simply a public discourse on Goldman's daily trading strategies or is something else? Are you eternally pissed off at Goldman for some bad trade routing you received yesteryear or what? Maybe Abbey Cohen scorned you in high school, I just don't know. Perhaps, you are still angry about that one day you couldn't log onto AOL due to a computer problem and one way or another, you're gonna get a personal apology directly from Jonathan (who would have been in London at the time anyway).

CEO's don't focus on the daily stock price...not their job. There job is to run the company.....but to maximize shareholder wealth. Relax...BNBN will do just fine, you just can't have such a short term outlook. $Mogul

In reply to >>>> What does this help when Goldman keeps on pushing down. Just took it down single handed from 19.625 to 19.25. Are C.E.O. does not care. <<<< It is not possible for a company or individual to control the price of a stock " from the buy side " ie Goldman " What is holding price down is daytraders and short term holders that have placed an upper limit as a sell point, which for them is right. But not good for us, They flood the board with sell orders each time the price reaches $19 thus their sell orders compete with each other, Dropping the share price.
