Hard to feel much compassion for Bernie Ebbers. I heard tonite that he has a guaranteed $1.5 million dollar salary for life. What a sham this WCOM business turned out to be. Sooner or later some 30+ year employee --who wakes up to find a life-long dedication to their company yielded no retirement to fall back on-- is going to go ballistic and take out one of these high flying ex-CEO's. That is going to be the next major headline. Actually, I am surprised it hasn't happened yet. And how the hell does Martha Stewart try to justify her actions. How greedy can you get, really? OK, and the ImClone CEO is schtupping her daughter and Martha's market timing just happens to be perfect??? Get real. Well, maybe good old Martha can think of a way to dress up the black and white stripped outfit she'll be sporting soon. Seems like someone has it out for her. Makes for good drama. And, yes, pessimism is driving the market down. Even the WCOM news triggered a sell-off and the stinking company is trading at 83¢ a share. Go figure. It will take a lot to restore investor confidence at this stage. Aus
