I feel sorry for the bashers Image this:
You are a paid basher and spend your time discrediting a company on this forum and making up dirt about the CEO and the company in general. You are doing quite well and have succeeded in considerably lowering the stock-price.
Then suddenly the CEO put's in 2 MILLION of his own money in cash at a 30% bonus on the SP.
You must feel utterly miserable!
Luckily for the basher they have got a whole weekend to regroup and think up new strategy.
I am sincerely curious what they come up with. Whatever they write, the question will always be:
Hey, if it's such a bad company, how come Peter put in 2 million of his on money at a 30% bonus.
