4. he deserves it

He took their stock in 14 months from $1.40 to $2.00.
Oops, typo: He took their stock from $140.00 to $2.00. He should get some reward: perhaps free room and board at a government sponsored facility.

5. Works for me.

I hope none of my mutual funds were invested in Bear Stearns.

6. Actually, the current CEO is a new guy....

The Chairman of the board who pulled down nearly 1/4 billion over the last few years stepped down recently....last week during the meltdown and fire sale he was unavailable to help as he was in Chicago playing in the National Bridge Tournament....true shit-I'm not bright enough to make this up....

have sold over the last month.
