I am sure we'll see a few more 500 point drops still. Especially with oil creeping up :)

Contemplating what will happen to the overall market when the AUTO CEOs come back to Congress and say what they got to say...of course, they'll have their crap together and will make concessions and Congress will go for it. But, what effect will it have on the market?

I also wonder what would have happend if the Banking CEOs would have been asked if they came down in private jets...I'm sure their answer would have been the same. Those guys make Auto CEOs look like low level managers.

Personally, I'd be in favor of CEOs making no more than defined percentage based on market cap and revenue. I.e. a company with $10 Billion in Revenue and $20 Billion Market Cap - CEO (if not a founder) could be capped at $15 Million/year. Obviously a downward scale as market cap and revenue move up.

IMO CEOs should be paid somewhere in this range.

$1-$50 Million Market Cap - $2 Million Cap
$50-$100 Million Market Cap - $3 Million Cap
$100-$250 Million Market Cap - $5 Million Cap
$250-$500 Million Market Cap - $7.5 Million Cap
$500-$1 Billion Market Cap - $10 Million Cap
$1-$10 Billion Market Cap - $15 Million Cap
$10+ Billion Market Cap - $25 Million Cap

Sure, give them a little stock too...but, total compensation should be based on performance....not given a golden parachute before they step foot in the HQ.
