Darleen > I see inflation all over the place what I don't see is increase job growth or an anticipated increase in need of employees. How does this fit in with your scheme of things? news.ft.com >>>The New York Stock Exchange awarded its chairman Richard Grasso a special bonus of $5m to reflect his "sterling leadership" following the September 11 attacks taking his total 2001 pay to $30.5m, it emerged on Wednesday. Ken Langone, then chairman of the NYSE compensation committee, said the payment was "a very objective analysis of all the contributions he made". This included "his leadership through 9/11, the fact that the stock exchange was ready to open the very next day". The $5m was in addition to Mr Grasso's performance-related bonus of $16.1m. <<< $20m pa for ringing a bell twice a day --- but it seems he knows just how to hit it.
