Good points Carol. I just wonder where all you outraged investors have been for the past 10 years?..... Under a rock with my head down managing my own privately held company. I realized way back then that I only had two choices in these matters: accept the rules of the game because I could not change them, or become an overpaid executive myself. One by one people are understanding this problem, and I think there is a chance for change. Regards, Huey

So you've expressed your support of the 'game' with your purse, as well as your desire to profit from it. What's the difference? Putting your money on the line is a pretty strong endorsement.

Hi Carol, I agree generally with your post. It was an easy read, since you expressed your ideas well. re "This is the same situation with the expensing of stock options, they are just exploiting a loophole in the tax code* to their advantage, not breaking the law.* " I also think there is a loophole, but am unsure of precisely what or where it is. Would you mind coming over to the Employee Stock Option thread .. and clarifying this point? Your input will be appreciated. Thanks, Ron
