Thumbs down Bruce Karatz of KBH - Backdating Options
What a freakin sucker. Bruce Karatz now the ex-CEO of KBH resigns after being caught for options backdating. This is as low as it gets. This peanuthead made $118 million + and doesnt have the cajuns to face the problem like a man and instead resigns!

Re: Bruce Karatz of KBH - Backdating Options
That's what I can't get into my head. When someone earns $118 million, why does he have to cheat. Other people would be content to have only 1%.

I don't even know what 1% of $118m is.

Re: Bruce Karatz of KBH - Backdating Options
Oddly enough, last night (Nov 13), Cramer recommended KBH as a BUY.
