Comments on: Yahoo's Bartz has a big brass ring

The newly minted CEO had her options exercise price set Friday, but the stretch to reach the 5 million-stock-options mark is long.

This is way better than A******** on wall street who got retention bonuses for running their companies in the ground. They should be charged with embezzlement for that.

I like that deal -- if she can drive Yahoo to perform to those levels then she deserves the big reward.

Of course her regular annual compensation isn't chopped liver, so even if Yahoo collapses she'll walk away okay.

The podcast I listened to said she had big brass ones ;)

I like the compensation model, its a good start to align the share-holders interests and executives of the company. This is fine start and my respect has grown for both Yahoo and Ms.Bartz. It should not make her short sighted quarter-to-quarter CEO, who will do just about anything to get the stock price to the expectations of wall street, what is more important there should be some thing in the compensation for keeping Yahoo sound for long term.
