Title: Re: My how the mighty have fallen Post by: birdymaker on July 01, 2008, 05:01:12 AM What was the CEO's annual bonus for managing not to fall out of the top 5?

[sm_devil] all the undisclosed knowledge of illegal accounting, real asset value, % of bad loans, blah blah... so he could position himself to maximize his stock options before they bellied up. probably a few hundred million. Title: Re: My how the mighty have fallen Post by: gleek on November 20, 2008, 07:35:30 AM Today's market cap: $28.5B.
90+% loss of market cap value since its all-time high. [sm_shock] These large banks are trading like they're heading down Enron Avenue. Could this be irrational fear or does the Street know a lot more than Joe The "Deer Caught in the Headlights" Stock Investor does? There's no way in hell individual investors are driving these prices this low. It's the institutions bailing while the individual is left holding the empty bag. Title: Re: My how the mighty have fallen Post by: Aske on November 20, 2008, 09:49:56 AM On the bright side, F and GM are up 24%+ each today.

[sm_devil] Exec. bonuses plans should include a significant component based on how many full timers they employ while maintaining profitability. No exec. should receive additional compensation when they are responsible for an organization with thousands (52k at Citi!!!) of lost jobs.

Read that Citi's CEO is foregoing his bonus for the year, although whether he's downgrading to flying first class is still up in the air. My thinking is that CEO compensation needs to be tied to long term performance somehow. The train went off the rails when quarterly and yearly profits became the be all and end all of 'Merkan capitalism.

The train went off the rails when quarterly and yearly profits became the be all and end all of 'Merkan capitalism. 'zactly. True story - the last 2 years of my previous employ I was giving weekly and monthly forecast updates. On a product with a 9-15 month initial sales cycle. Meaning we knew all of the potential opportunities 12-18 months out at any given point in time yet we still had to give our weekly updates every Monday. Funny thing is, before we went public it was a much more sane environment. I've seen what Wall Street can do to a damn good company. They just announced another 225 layoffs, closed the manufacturing building I worked in and moved the manufacturing to Malaysia. As I had lunch with one of the survivors (for now) last week I realized I was glad I got whacked last March. :sad3: Title: Re: My how the mighty have fallen Post by: gleek on November 20, 2008, 08:27:20 PM What was the CEO's annual bonus for managing not to fall out of the top 5?
