Thanks for the 39 cent reminder. Yes, they make a lot of dough. We all knew that, right?
I'm laughing because Dale isn't the hero he wanted to be. He failed, and think of all that wanted the stock to zoom........it won't. Only a matter of time when the Board boots Bozo.
Short HEW ? Nah, it's even a dog going down. Much better fish to fry than doggy HEW stock. I'd rather watch it die on the vine. |

You're right, PintheDale; Dale isn't the hero he wanted to be. But he IS the zero Wall Street predicted he'd be. At the helm of a once-proud ship, he's managed to turn a "culture" of high-performance into a "cult" of "low-expectation". The guy is a complete and total fraud who will eventually be exposed.
Another thing...
Let's face it, the whole bunch of 'em running the show -- but especially Dale and Doyle -- are (deep down) concerned just as much about their legacies as they are their bank-accounts. They might get rich, but in the end their reputations will suffer far more than HEW stock.
These guys are pretenders who made a big (bad) bet on Exult. It's a failed model that can't, and won't make money. Ever. You cannot build a viable, long-term business on vision-babble and labor-cost arbitrage.
Hewitt will wither on the vine, and someone will swoop in and buy it for a song. Then they'll bust it up into pieces (consulting, benefits, and Exult) and FINALLY eliminate the insane cult that has killed the company.
Too bad, really. Because in the end, a lot of decent people at Hewitt are going to get hurt pretty badly.
