I actually do both things. I invest in some of my own stuff but I also invest in the market. It's good to be diversified.
I think you may have misunderstood me. I don't have a problem with CEOs making millions of dollars. In a lot of cases they deserve it. But some of theses pay packages are way out of whack. Let's take Dick Grasso for example. He did a great job running the NYSE. I don't think most people would have a had a problem if he walked away with $50-$75 million. But for him to walk away with $200 million was excessive. I think everyone felt that way including the courts who are going to force him to give some of the money back.
