All solid points you bring forth.
Until Main St. USA decides to stand up and get mad,real mad,the trend will continue. There are, although, cracks appearing in the dam that Corporate America built to separte and sheild themselves from retail-Mom and Pop investors. The cracks are getting bigger every day. Once this market recognizes the top is in, assuming it is, and mutual fund redemptions start an avalanche we will see those cracks in the dam explode outward collapsing the veil. Retail will be mad as hell and every News station in America will spotlight this market and how its greed took America to bank and back. Blame will be spread everywhere. The Fed will take heat as well the bankers,lawyers and Politicians alike. It has been pre-orchestrated; they are all rehearsing their lines. It is coming. This is how the game is played.

Just once I would like to see a board throw a CEO out on his ass and then sue him for every dime he has coming- no bonus, no retirment, let alone a golden parachute

Doesn't that assume (1) that the CEO was acting alone, (2) that the Board members themselves were not complicit, having nothing to hide (either individually or on behalf of the company), and (3) that the Board members are not expecting their own unearned payday at some point?
