This is a cut & paste of part of a Motley Fool article. Are there any other CEO's that you know of who "do the right thing"?
As we well know, the stock-option backdating problem is spreading
ever wider, taking its toll on a number of companies and stocks. We've
seen lots of CEOs, CFOs, and directors get fired or step down over the
past few months, including executives at Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL),
UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH), and CNET Networks (Nasdaq: CNET).   

      And we've had some "improprieties," like the ones at Bed Bath &
Beyond (Nasdaq: BBBY), go seemingly unpunished, as I  wrote about last
week.   

      That's why it was nice to read what CEO Sinegal and CFO Galanti
had to say in an 8-K filed by Costco yesterday: "... each officer
suggested to the Committee that he not receive a bonus this year."   

Using 12% estimates over the next five years I have a buy up to $56 and change.
