JJ, In my second post I restated "all" to "most" because as you correctly pointed out LU clearly hasn't lost all of their employees. As for those that are staying... I'm not sure the older folks that are looking for a "cushy" job are the ones that are going to pull LU back up again. The new blood/engergy is what has fueled innovation in the past and I don't expect that to change going forward... so if the young studs are leaving then LU may be in a world of hurt..... AAaaaand, if LU is acquiring companies only to see talent leave (as you point out and to which I agree) then what's the point of doing the acquisition..... if there's no one around to sell, service, innovate, and thus support growth of the new acquisition??? We can chat more in Vegas... ;) Oh, and I don't believe I called you a name but if I did I apologize... being dilusional is OK... god knows we all are at times... it can be a good thing... but I didn't mean to imply that that was your name. LOL!!!
