Serious question:

BL if you were going to have a threesome, not saying you neccesarily would or wouldn't, would you go 2guys/1girl or 2girls/1guy?

Bess, can we remove the annoyning Sarah Palin jokes such as #2. They take up valuable threads. Hopefully if we ignore the assholes they will go away. Makes me long for the mayo posts.

So, the best part about that website is the awesomely partisan slant to it. I'm opposed to the bailout, but not because of some political witch-hunt. I just think that its socialism at its finest.

I can't wait to see what the executive compensation riders will look like. Nothing fixes problems better than knee-jerk legislation!!

"I can't wait to see what the executive compensation riders will look like. Nothing fixes problems better than knee-jerk legislation!!"

From the desk of Chris Dodd (D-CT):

SEC. 17. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

The Secretary shall require that all entities seeking to sell assets through a program established under this Act meet appropriate standards for executive compensation and shareholder disclosure in order to be eligible, which standards shall include—

(1) limits on compensation to exclude incentives for executives to take risks that the Secretary deems to be inappropriate or excessive;

(2) a claw-back provision for incentive compensation paid to a senior executive based on earnings, gains, or other criteria that are later proven to be inaccurate; and

(3) such limitations on the entity paying severance compensation to its senior executives as are determined to be appropriate in the public interest in light of the assistance being given to the entity.

Text of Dodd's plan:

So what risks is the Secretary of the Treasury going to deem "excessive"? Like, anything that GS wouldn't do?

When are they going to decide that earnings were "inaccurate"? Like when there's a Worldcom/Enron type fraud? Or just when, ya know, a company makes a shitload of money in a good market and then not so much in a bad market?

I think the "no severance for failures" rule was pretty much a foregone conclusion and I don't have a big problem with this one.

uhhh... OIL?!

Posted by guest, Sep 22, 2008 2:26PM

What this all means is that the Treasury is now more important than the Supreme Court, more relevant than the President, and beyond the reach of Congress. If Paulson reorganizes us into an Empire and starts building Star Destroyers, we could be in trouble.

Funny. I love when financial journalists try to attribute a move in some market to the COMPLETELY wrong thing. CNBC is phenominal at it.
