To all my fellow classmates
This is beyond being very late. I just re-visited my blog for the first time since school was over. I have not been here in months.
Congratulations to all!!!!!!!! It was a long road at the time, but now feels like it was a short journey.The reason for that is probably that we worked so well together. The collaboration and assistance shared would be hard to match anywhere.
Everyone should be proud for completing this task, and on our timeline, not theirs!

More CEO's under Government Scrutiny
As reported in today's Wall Street Journal, The House Committee on Oversight and Government reform are questioning the pay packages of three corporation's executives. The companies involved are Countrywide Financial Corporation, Merrill Lynch & Co. and Citigroup Inc.
This hearing on executive compensation has come about due to the mortgage market shakeout and the foreclosures happening nationwide.
The report depicts as excessive the compensation received by the executives of all three firms, but it's major concentration today was on Mr. Angelo Mozillo, the founder of Countrywide.
In 2006, Mr. Mozillo collected compensation of about $42 million dollars. Stock options exercised between November of 2006 and the end of 2007 netted him another $1.5 billion dollars.
