The only things that will stop them are government regulation and a lack of capital to take stupid chances. Even now, the number of hedge funds that can lever up is down a lot because the money center banks won't shovel funds to them any longer. And the investment banks became bank holding companies so their leverage was cut in half or more.

It's a start back to a saner system but I don't trust the CEO's not to try to game something else given the chance.

I'm really tired of CEOs taking unreasonable risk with my money so they can have a one big payday.

While I agree that CEO pay and incentives should be revised - and you gave a good proposal - you always have a choice what to invest into. IMHO, there is still enough public companies with conservative management. Why invest into anything else?
