of course its wrong, but the WSJ had something about some exec's not taking bonuses this year. It was the issue from 12/19. Hold on my Neighbor is gone for the holidays maybe I can steal the paper back again

Bear Stearns Chiefs to Skip Bonuses
By Kate Kelly
Word Count: 918 | Companies Featured in This Article: Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs Group, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch

In an acknowledgment of the most-difficult period in Bear Stearns Cos.' 84-year history, Chief Executive Officer James Cayne and other senior executives are expected to forgo bonuses for this year, people familiar with their plans say.

The expectation comes as Bear prepares to announce tomorrow its first quarterly loss ever, an outcome certain to curb pay for the firm's 15,500 employees. This is a turnabout for Bear, which over the years has used its generous, merit-driven compensation system to recruit job candidates it calls PSDs: those who are poor, smart, and have a deep desire to be rich.

It continues but I need a subscription
