Eric, Would that necessarily be a good thing for VerticalNet's stock if you based it on prior performance with AMZN?

Eric, This is what I was looking for: "Galli, 42, joined Amazon a little over a year ago from Black & Decker (BDK:NYSE - news), where he was president of the global power tools and accessories division. Ries noted that Galli received a significant signing bonus -- $3 million -- with the promise of another $3 million on his first anniversary with the company, and $2 million on his second. Galli got his second $3 million check on June 23. Any stock options that Galli received would be underwater -- Amazon's stock has been under heavy pressure all year as investors have questioned the sustainability of its business model -- and thus worthless.
