    Like he needs another job.....please. The best thing he can do is dump his shares and start another in direct competition. Probably has a no compete clause in his contract for x amount of time anyway.

    I can't believe a retail apparel chain is trading at $36/ share?!

    Anyone know what percentage of the company he still owns?

    If I owned a company I would NEVER let my ownership drop to below a voting majority.

    You're right but I think I read he only owns a 3.5 percent stake in the company at this point and was slowly exiting (retiring) anyway. But that they tried to PUSH him out earlier because he couldn't let go fast enough?

    If you need capital you probably don't have a choice.

    I would cash out my remaining shares and go sit on the beach with a cocktail.
