Re:"MSFT up 1.3% INPR down 3.1%" MSFT has a CEO and management team that care about the share price. INPR has an overpaid CEO who cares nothing about share price. MSFT sales exceeds $14 billion - its CEO earns around $500,000. INPR sales barely $200,000 and its CEO earns $3.9 million. Del's salary is eating at present and future earnings of this miserable company. It is unfortunate that a company with great products, competent developers, has lost credibility on Wall Street because of its CEO. Del can do wanders to the stock if he announces that he will receive only $1 per year until the company share price climbs to $20. Other CEO's have taken similar actions. Del should be satisfied with the options he was granted on 5% of the floating shares. This alone could bring him millions and compensate for salary lost if he is able to execute a turn around plan that pushes the stock up to over $20. Maher
