Shareholders: Look What CEOs Are Doing with Your Money

Read the Form 4's if you want to really get sick to your stomach - nothing more than outright theft of shareholder equity via options awards.

And its not just the "C" level guys - check out some of the BOD's who OK those awards - and then get nearly as much on their own... there are Board members getting MILLIONS of dollars worth of stock options that they flip the same day they exercise - for a dozen meetings a year? Yah, right, give me a break.

Its gotten so that one of my first due diligence steps when researching a company is to read the Form 4's. And I don't care how much the company is SUPPOSEDLY making - if these cretins are robbing the shareholders blind with their options plans then their interests are misaligned with the shareholders and sooner or later the shareholders are gonna take it on the chin.

10 Standout Growth and Value Stocks

These are all resources stocks, and tied to the $USD. There are dozens and dozens of similar stocks with the same 3 and 4 month flat and inverse head and shoulders bottoms forming sound bases as market volatility subsides. When the market makes its final bottom these stocks will lead the way. Not sure we don't have one more big shakeout coming after this bear rally we are starting to see, but these stocks, techs and early cycle industrials, especially those with large exports to the emerging markets, will be the big early winners.
