If this is the standard, Jerry Sanders is 100 times bigger offender than Bush. He has been receiving generous salary and stock options for years while AMD was losing money. But based on my limited knowledge of Sanders, I don't find him to be an immoral man. Joe, Let me try to understand. You think that participating in insider trading where you sell a stock in an anticipation of a plunge in the price, prompting an SEC investigation, is the same legally as taking stock options approved by a company's board of directors. No wonder we are having trouble with discussions of integrity. <g> I am not saying that taking stock options when the company is losing $$$ is a good thing, but its not illegal or unethical. Insider trading is. ted
