Says Fraudulent CEOs Should Lose All Compensation

[Registered]

AFer's are Bozo's...see, you meet their membership criteria already!

[Howlin]

The White House web site should have it up shortly. And it will probably turn up on this thread shortly!

[Dales]

And within a year of the sale, the price had rebounded, if I recall correctly.

So he sold three months before a temporary stock dip. Had he held onto it and sold it about 15 months later, he would have made more money.

There is nothing there.

[Miss Marple]

Riley, wasn't it? You are right.

[cactusSharp]

therein is the biscuit...diring Clinton's reigh Ole Robert
Rubin and goldman Sachs were as guilty and one can be.
The "fuzzy math" was ALL RUBIN

[mwl1]

what is Rush upset about in this speech?

[Howlin]

Six months.

[Dales]

Thanks. So if he had held it 9 months longer, he would have made more money.

[Miss Marple]

My question as well. What, is he on the side of corporate fraud?

[Howlin]

Double.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for the info, Grampa Dave. Why is that not surprising? VAST Left Wing Conspiracy....with the press clearly and unapologetically working for the DNC and the resulting complete lack of accountability of the Dems. in DC, and their supposed NGOs....the Trial Lawyers, NEA, AFL/CIO, Sierra Club, NOW, PAW and NAACP...we have a mountain of filth to get around while fighting the militant Muslims.

We need accountability for the press...when the NY Times prints a major lie...it carries around the world and taints what's good, right and honest with deception and doubt.

Is it truth or lie? The Dems./press throw out a sea of lies...and we get lost in the outrage and the clean-up...when the only question we need to ask of the press re. their buddies is "truth or lie?" Then expose the lies, and the liars. Even the mainstream press held Gore accountable a little when it was pointed out that he was lying compulsively.

[Mo1]

Thanks. So if he had held it 9 months longer, he would have made more money.

That is what I understand

[jwalsh07]

what is Rush upset about in this speech?

His portfolio.

Not only that, but the way I understand it, the form that got lost was the form that verified the sale. The form filing the intention to sell was filed just fine. Of the two, I'd say the former is, by far, the more important form. How does the second form's being late hurt anything?

[mombonn]

I tuned on Rush to hear his reaction. I've turned it off.

It got worse - I'm turning him off as I post this.

[isthisnickcool]

I'm not watching the speech but some of the comments here regarding making the CEO's more responsible for their actions reminds me of Lloyd's of London.

Members of Lloyds put up their personal fortunes. In the event that their underwriting group fails their entire personal fortune is on the hook.

Does this make sense in America? For public corporations? I'm not sure but some of these pump and dump cowboys need to be slapped and slapped pretty hard.

[Dales]

He could have made LOTS more money.

But not as much money as if he followed Hillary's cattle futures trading strategerie.

[NeoCaveman]

I have NO comprehension of financial dealings; you all have to lead me by the hand!

That's OK, neither does Limbaugh.....

[Wphile]

Actually, there was a chart of Harken's stock on another thread. Looks to me like W sold at the bottom. He sold at $4/sh and a year later it was $8/sh. Not exactly the pump-and-dump of the 90s.

Mo1...Robert Rubin is back working for GoldmanSachs....one of the biggest robber barons of the late 1990s. He was with Goldman prior to coming to the clinton administration as well.
