>Compensation has grown to reward orchestrated failure that benefits the venture capitalists and investment bankers as the sake of stockholders.
The last time I checked Michael Eisner of Disney (DIS) was the highest paid CEO of public companies in America.
Last year he took out a whopping $72 million in compensation and Disney hasn't grown for several years.
Trust me I know...I'm one pissed off Disney (DIS) shareholder.
Talk about dead money look at the 5 year Disney chart!

agreed. i don't see how people can use interest rates as an excuse. short and long rates are lower now than they were at the top so if high rates were the only thing that caused the meltdown, how come even lower rates aren't the cure?
