Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:49:17 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate-uk/?p=2479#comment-5940 An issue that warrants discussion concerns all of the press regarding the CEOs of firms that have received government funding. Saving the "too big to fail" is a strong message for those who run good companies and need to keep a slim structure in order to return value to shareholders. Are there two bottom lines? Investors think not and Mr. Wood is simply trying to make this clear. CEOs and CFOs who make the difference are those that keep their companies' balance sheets in check during tough times. Wells Fargo yes, but also leaders in their sectors like Research In Motion, north of the border and well known names like Johnson & Johnson. Mike.

Do the banks that required all of the TARP funding have the right to disburse the returns on those funds as they see fit? If so, then are the voices of shareholders and the public outcry one in the same? I wonder if the two groups would be in agreement or not. Tom Dougherty.
