Re: Spas--sorry to ruin your day but makes your point tooI agree generically that CEO's get paid WAY WAY too much. Unfortunately if you are on the Compensation Committee of the Board, you have to compensate your CEO competitively of risk losing him. Again, the 10's of millions that these guys make every year is unfathomable. How you address this problem on an industry wide basis I haven't a clue. But for COP, the Board as a whole must hire, or continue to employee a CEO, and the Compensation Committee of the Board must recommend a salary and benefit package that is competitive for that position. So: Is the CEO compensation at COP competitive? Yes. I looked this up and Posted my findings a few weeks ago. Is the current CEO the right one for COP? Yes. The price of COP stock is doing well based on the assets that it holds and its earnings potential: According to Siblis Research, the average Price-To-Book Ratio of a stock in the Energy sector is 1.67. COP's P/B is 1.80, 8% above industry average. My take on this is that investors have judged that this management team can get more out of these assets than the average CEO could. According to an NYU Database, the average Forward Price-To-Earnings Ratio of a stock in Oil and Gas Exploration is 11.30. COP's Forward P/E is 15.95, 41% above industry average. My take on this is that investors have judged that this management team will beat the earnings estimates and grow the Company more than the average CEO would.
