Well, I was gone all day yesterday, just saw the news. Your take on it re: Eli and Dov makes some sense to me. I do hate Friday afternoon announcements, but sometimes they give people a chance to breath and put it into some perspective. Of course, we can expect that Savitz or Alpert of Barrons will have something amusing in the vein of "I told ya so" to say in this week's issue. However, I think Eli perhaps should have done what Dov did at Tower--lowered his salary to $1/year if we don't close in the black this coming year. Its not like he can't afford it. And, in the big picture, his salary isn't really all that significant compared to the stock options he gets and has gotten--and cashes in--year after year. This suggestion isn't made to begrudge him a salary, or in a cynical way--it's just what a leader with confidence in his company and his own leadership does--if he can afford it, financially and psychologically, emotionally. One goal is to get rich. A different albeit inevitably related goal is to create not just a large company, but a leading company, an innovative and great company.
