One wonders why he is wasting $20,000 to buy another 3411 shares at $5 + when he could use that money to exercise say at least 11,400 of the options he already owns at $1.75. Would he incur a tax liability if he exercised? That's a good reason. Perhaps he's setting up a college fund or somesuch. Perhaps he just wanted to own some more stock. The CEO is buying more stock at this level. That's good enough for me. Wasting???? I think not!!

Richard----- thousands of shares more at 2.25 - 2.50 as part of his wages,,,, damn I think I could get by on that plus shares at less than 1/2 price. This company has given so many 1/2 price shares away that it effects the price. Options are good,,, unless they give away millions of shares to pay their wages & op costs....as they did in 97. Time to make a buck so the options they get are worth something... John

Socialism alive and well... Rich Schoenstadt writes : <<Gee. I thought Jenkins was quite wealthy. See www3.techstocks.com Also Jenkin's 1997 salary was 165,000 and his 1996 salary was 146,000 according to the annual report. From where I sit that is pretty good compensation.>> Maybe relaitve to you that is fantastic. Relative to the scale of executive compensation, that is peanuts. <<True he only made 40,000 in 1995. But average the 3 together and you get over $100,000 a year.>> You must be a Democrat. Only a Democrat would consider this annual compensation to make a man rich and thus worthy of criticism. Listen, some of my patients are factory workers at Ford and they make MORE than this a year with overtime. <<<Also assuming the following post from Karl is correct Jenkins sold 160,000 shares in July at prices between 1.79 to 4.18. That would add another good bit to his income.>> Insiders buy and sell all the time. Looks like Mr. Jenkins needs too. He bought these new shares on the open market. That's important.
