moon walks - money talks

'now that the company has pared down stock options, rsu to about 5% of revenue, that's the level the company wants to maintain.' the cfo said in answering to his question

'how about american macro, has it come out of the woods yet?"

"we have made progress obviously, but not yet out of the woods. unemployment is still very much an issue... and the market cycle is getting shorter and shorter now.... now that eu is in trouble. the fear is that credit will become very tight again. we are seeing u.s. banks wary of lending to european banks, and european banks themselves are tightening up the credit lines also."

eric, the cfo, a new yorker, looked and acted and sounded like somebody from the movie, the gangster, mafia, crime-theme movie. lay-back, couldn't careless, non-challant, low-key-sounded.....let you think of al pachino, but he looked more like danny de vito in size and paul simon in appearance.

he shot from his hips, that how you thot. infact he's a fast thinker and talker. before you can finish you question, his answer is already there - cpu-like fast.

'eric, somebody in the company said, he will dye his hair blue if the share price goes up to $200."

"well.... if it ever reaches $200, i will shave my hair.... and get out of this business and get myself out of this place to ..." that's so far the first time he hesitated.

"where?"

"the moon."

"the moon?"

"i mean the moonwalk."

"moonwalk?"

"moon walk ave."

"moonwalk ave?"

"moonwalk ave, in new york city."

"there's no moonwalk ave in new york city."

"with my billions, there would be one."
