Re Tyco split and benefits to management. Tyco management is very well compensated in stock and options such that they have a great interest in increasing shareholder value. Although I am unaware of any additional benefits the two main people (CEO Dennis Kozlowski and CFO Mark Swartz) stand to receive shares in the spin-off companies. Also, I am not sure the term golden parachute applies since they have both committed to staying on to manage the main 'stub' after the break-up. FWIW I agree with your recommendations for increased disclosure of insider activities. I heard talk about the SEC decreasing the amount of time for reporting insider trades (and that is a good step) but the other activities you mentioned, while not damning evidence of illegal activities, would still be very good to know. Best to all, Terrapin
