Of course huge award of stock, bonuses, tax gross up, access to company jet, private apartment in NY, limo &amp; driver, security... usual sparkly stuff.<br /> <br />Always remembering the mission and vision statement<br /><br />Phase I - Identify and enter new untapped living impaired markets<br /><br />Phase III - PROFITKevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19070036.post-59197892153574652182009-08-25T08:38:29.837+01:002009-08-25T08:38:29.837+01:00What about skinning the dead horse, then draping the hide over a three-legged donkey to fool the investors?Declan Chellarhttp://www.chellar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19070036.post-32736560121986638532009-08-14T15:48:40.532+01:002009-08-14T15:48:40.532+01:00Anon - I wish I cold take credit for the idea ...<br /><br />Nick - So true. Tis all about <i>potential</i> energy / earnings - I wish more CEOs could see this. I am reminded of the wise rocket scientist who stroked his beard and then said in a deeply considered tone, &quot;Actually, pigs <i>can</i> fly ... If given sufficient thrust ...

A quadripedal carbon-based equine of sound and intact musculo-skeletal disposition that is not expending energy must represent an extant storehouse of said energy, whereas the energy spend of a currently active biped must of necessity be on a downward curve and as such in active decline.
