Bear Stearns Bailout

[FishaHallic]

Well, there he goes again.  All you flamin republicans should be happy about this.  The gov't bails out this company that has made millions in the last few yrs and now they are on hard times and so they use taxpayer money to bail them out.  The CEO made around $28,000,000.00 last yr due to what, the way he ran the company into the ground?  The stock was trading at a little over $60 a week ago and now it's worth about $2.

Where is Digginfool (I think it was) tellin everyone how good the economy was 2 months ago.  This is just another indication of who your beloved republicans are looking out for and it is not the common man.  Open your eyes people  :lecture.gif

Your just trying to derail my post  :Hug.gif.  One day I will post some pictures of the riding here around Lake Tahoe I think you would be pleasantly surprised.   

You can't go wrong with a King Quad unless you run it out of oil  :banghead.gif.

JP Morgan bought them out for $2 a share, a total purchase price of $236 million.  What a bargain.  Actually, the CEO's total compensation last year was $33.85 million, according to their 2007 proxy statement.  About half of which was stock compensation and the other half was a cash bonus.  Ultimately, the stock is worthless now so he got hit hard by the company's liquidity problems.

Im sure the ceo took a major option hit as well, boo friggin hoo...what could one person do to deserve all that money anywayl.But since this is a free economy,is what I am thinkin he was saying.Than they should fold and go out of business just like they can make enormous profits on flip side.Government should stay out of big business when it suits them right? How many Mom & Pop biz go away every day.No big checks funneling into them form Uncle Sam to keep them going right.Nobody telling oil co's your making too much fellows time to give back to the rest of them.But if they fell on there ashs we would be there!
