A Calculator for CEO's Who Destroy Shareholder Value
Written By: David Neubert

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!

Conagra (CAG) 2007 Shareholder Meeting - How I Vote My Proxy

On my way back from the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting, I stopped at the Chef Boy Ardee plant in Milton, PA which is owned by Conagra (CAG - $25.66). I bought Conagra as a value play a couple years ago. The stock has not moved much in that time. I collected a nice fat dividend early on that went down. Needless to say, this pick is not one of my best. I continue to hold Conagra. And now I'm voting my proxy. The main issues: executive compensation and treatment of chickens.

I just looked at my Coca Cola Inc (KO) Proxy Statement for the annual meet to take place on Wednesday April, 18 2007 in Wilmington, Delaware and was disgusted by how much Board of Coca-Cola decided to pay the CEO. But I will keep holding the stock. I think it's going higher.
