    Board and Executive Compensation in S&P 500 [view article]
    Jackooo...you are exactly correct. The companies send out proxies, etc., as a "feel good" exercise, not something that will result in any change of directors, management, etc. The mutual funds are not doing their jobs when they simply go along to get along with extreme compensation packages being set up by compensation committees. Any time a compny is losing money badly, but gives top executives major pay raises, something is wrong inside the management of the companies. Reply

    Board and Executive Compensation in S&P 500 [view article]
    Years ago when it became so obvious to me that boards of directors were nothing more than good old boys clubs, rubber stamps for corporate executives and every bit as greedy, I began to look in the proxy for the identities of the Compensation Committee. Every proxy I have voted since I have withheld my vote for those committee members and have encouraged others to do the same. May never have an affect but at least its something I can do to express my dissatisfaction... Reply

    I have both T and CMCSA. I notice their executive teams are paid the most. That's a shame from these two losers.
    The SEC can make up lots more rules & I can vote against the board but unless the mutual fund companies vote their shares against the boards, we individual share holders might as well forget proxy voting.
    I cannot understand why the funds don't take the reigns? It is their clients that are losing money. It is true that most of the clients are dumb and lazy regarding financial savy but gezz. You would think the funds would do something, no??     Reply

    giving the people on the board hefty 'compensation' really amounts to a bribe by the top execs to keep the big exec $ coming, no matter what. Warren Buffet does it right, when it comes to this. good article. thank you. Reply

    dvd kiosks hurt bbi more than nflx. As per the quarterly report nflx doesn't see themself in direct competition with pay per view right now which is what amazon is pushing. Pay per views compete with cable right now.     Reply

    FYI, Trovix, the company Monster acquired, actually uses "semantic" search technology, having nothing to do with the company Symantec. Semantic Search is the "science of meaning in language to produce highly relevant search results" and will provide Monster with an incredibly intuitive search tool that will help connect employers and job seekers better than ever before.

    It isn't the unions that has caused the downfall of GM. It is healthcare costs for retirees. GM can compete against Toyota. It cannot compete against Japan. If we had universal health care coverage in this country and American companies could get out of having to offer healthcare benefits to it's employees then GM would be in better shape. And before someone starts screaming about socialized medicine let me state a few observations. Healthcare is not free. It costs money to provide good healthcare and money is a finite resource. Everyone has an obligation to take care of themselves by eating right, exercising and not smoking. (Tobacco companies use to get government subsidies, why shouldn't lung cancer patients) But every American citizen has a right to decent healthcare. One of the things that made America great was the availability of a free education to everyone, just not for the rich. Modern medical technology is expensive. Some CEO shouldn't get rich by saying no to the insurance company saying no to my medical care. Why would you want to be part of a society that put greed above the well being of it's citizens regardless of economic class. Let's have compassionate capitalism in America. Money isn't isn't evil but the love of money is or so they say. Reply

    I worked for TWA and was a union member for 34 yrs. TWA went thru 2 bankruptcies. The I.A.M. slept with TWA. Unions are a waste at this time. They were great in the beginning but useless now.
    If you fly straight you don't need them. If you have problems there is the Labor Board.     Reply

    Splitting up SM and FM into private units to sell to the private markets assumes that there will be somebody to serve the tax payers best interest during the process. There has been a real shortage of concern for the tax payers during this debacle. Having Paulson, one of the true robber barons of our time heading the deal could be a reason. Having a group of entitled Ivy types telling us what they need to do to save us from what they were responsible for in the first place could be another problem. Reply

    The reason that GM was "forced" to abandon future planning for high oil prices was unions? Certainly that is part of the equation, but it is disingenuous not to recognize also that trying to maximize income statements quarter to quarter is a major factor in the lack of proper longer term strategy.

    Maximizing quarterly income results works great when the existing strategy is good for the long haul but can lead to disaster when the current strategy is short-sighted.     Reply

    GM's catering to the Unions which eventually lead to $ 190 billion in pension fund liabilities via the health insurance and retirement income paid to retirees is what has GM in the toilet. You are right about the fact that GM can not react fast enough but that is because they don't have the resources to react.
    This should end once and for all that the car companies are in bed with the oil companies. The car companies are going belly up while the oil companies are making record profits.
    The labor unions have never gotten it, there is no such thing as it is us against the company. Us is the company so when the company dies so does us. If the company prospers so does us. Labor unions have never understood short term sacrifice for long term gain. It has always been give it to me now and the hell with tomorrow.
    Labor unions destroyed GM, Ford and Chrysler because management let them so in the end the failure of american car companies can be blamed on both parties plus the american public for putting up with the negotiation process.     Reply

    Zyprexa has generated a lot of bad press for Eli Lilly and they still have unresolved Zyprexa settlement claims.
    Eli Lilly is 'reaping the whirlwind' for aggressive marketing of Zyprexa that has caused suffering and deaths.
    Zyprexa is being avoided by doctors they aren't prescribing it for new patients at all anymore.
