<. What a cruel joke that you start a tech company and a year later pull 200 million clownbux off for yourself by feeding your insider sales through a decent trading firm. It's sad. > Actually I think the cruel part is not the insider selling, it's the bank that took these companies public and touted them, and a year later they close up... THAT's SICK! I-Banks were knocking on doors beggin guys to go public. DAK

Hey, I'm living that life! While I was at Worldcom, I watched as people who got in "early" with the stock option program go from being able to pay for a nice house in cash to being able to buy a nice honda in cash. I started working there in 1998 when the stock price was about 19 split adjusted. Today, wcom was trading at 20 and change. A few months ago, it was in the 50s. Now, here is the question, would you rather have your entire net worth evaporate over a few trading days, or would you rather experience a full year of gut wrenching pain as your money slowly pissed away?
