$200 for a Barrel of Oil: A Fait Accompli?
Written By: Mark Bershatsky

As 2008 rolls on, we are continuing to see crude oil's meteoric rise as well as the direct and indirect harm that this trend is causing. Not only are certain industries with end-products or services dependent on crude oil (transportation, plastics, etc.) feeling their margins squeezed, but there is also an increasing fear that broader inflation is being sparked. So far consumer prices have only inched up, though that serves little or no indication of what is to come.

A Calculator for CEO's Who Destroy Shareholder Value

My friends and Portfolio have this handy slideshow that shows how much value destroying CEO's were overpaid last year. Not surprisingly, CEOs of financial firms like eTrade (ETFC - $3.29), Countrywide (CFC - $4.76) and Citigroup (C - $18.62) top the list.

For nearly all companies, the CEO is an employee, not a founder, not a partner, not an entrepreneur. He (and it is nearly all HES) is collecting RISKTAKER money for being a CARETAKER. If CEO's had any real skin in the game that meant they had to give money back to shareholders instead of just take it, I'm sure these pay numbers would be different.

It's rare for a founder to ripoff shareholders.

Disclosure: I own Citigroup (my Citigroup blogging history). I own eTrade. I do not own CFC Common. I do own Countrywide Preferred shares.

Self Rightous Disclosure: I only hold the Chief Executive title for companies I have actually founded. And none of them have yet to pay me a dime!

Cramer Wants Citigroup (C) to Break Up, I Disagree

I just watched Jim Cramer's Mad Money (I couldn't help but laugh at how long the WikiPedia entry for this TV show is, The Panelist should be so lucky). He thinks Citigroup (C- $54.15) is more valuable broken up than as one big unit. I could not disagree with him more.
