Vern I agree, I dont understand it for a second. it is the most unpredictable thing that could happen here. it means there is something we dont know about and it may even be personal issues although they did not state this. I cant imagine anyone in that position leaving at this time, keep in mind anyone that wants or gets to this level is a driven person and wants power, authority, money, success. he succeeded and finished nothing, he gave up power, he no longer has authority, he is no longer in a position to max his return on share value. go figure, this has been the most unpredictable stock I know of.
