McMannis - Re: " a drop in the bucket compared to the likes of say, Eisner. "

Are you looney?

Of course!

Eisner has indeed made a fortune - ON DISNEY's STOCK !

Most of his compensation has come from Stock Options which have become enormously valuable BECAUSE DISNEY'S STOCK HAS SOARED under Eisner!

The company is fabulously successful - as is it's stock performance - BECAUSE of Eisner!

When Eisner took over Disney in 1984, the company was a joke, headed for oblivion.

The comparison to Sanders is 100% ABSURDLY WRONG!

AMD shareholders - and employees - have benefited NADA from Sanders - but Sanders has continued to rake in a huge salary and has managed to get his options repriced consistently, then SELL at opportune times.

Re: "The board of directors ripping off the company is common...it's not just AMD...It really hits home when the stock tanks and officers still get theirs. I can understand you being bitter about Jerry and Vinod but they are a drop in the bucket compared to the likes of say, Eisner.
I could give you a list a mile long. "

But this is the AMD thread isn't it?
