Onstream: Where Those Advertising Dollars Go Now

Regarding Silverfox2’s recommendation of KIT over ONSM, I’d say buyer beware. Claiming that KIT has “a superior management team” because its CEO is a Harvard grad is irksome. Two Harvard grads recently in the news: John Thain, who as CEO of Merrill Lynch has been subpoenaed for, among other things, awarding $121 million dollars in combined bonuses to four to his failed senior executives – while knowing that his firm was in deep red ink. Also, Robert Rubin of Citigroup who received $115 million in pay since 1999 and named by Marketwatch as one of the “10 most unethical people in business.” I’m not blaming Harvard for producing a level of greed that hurts us all, but I will give kudos to the CEO of ONSM, as he has managed to put the company first for over a decade and survived in the most trying of times. When it comes to what kind of CEO to invest in, I’ll take a hardworking, conscientious graduate from the school of hard knocks over a Harvard “old boy” anytime!
