lj: Speaking of contracts, VTLE's are still making management look smart. I bought AMD, and it was a disaster stock this week, after they suspended the CFO. Not a good scene. However, the stock pays a decent dividend, so waiting for a recovery in price, even if takes a year or more, isn't too unpalatable. VTLE, on the other hand. . . . (You have to admit, I haven't aired that gripe in a while!)
