@EssentialWTRG $wtrg $awk American Water Works opportunistic acquisition of Essential Utilities does not adequately compensate the Essential Shareholders. The Board accepted a discount valuation, while CEO Christopher Franklin and his Executive team will be generously compensated.
@michaeljburry@Ricardo_Celini Agree. He was spot on in 1999. He bought $AAPL down the road once he had the people that could understand it. You could have waited another decade before $MSFT was buyable.
@CedarStResearch @slamcandie@mindthelongterm Evan's name will continue to be tied to companies lead by former (Greenberg Schooled) AIG employees. Both $AIG and $HIG would be in his wheelhouse, while their current CEO's might prefer a bit more independence ... for a while.
@CedarStResearch Agree that it was too complex for anyone but Hank… or Evan to run. Same went for $C / Weill and $GE / Jack at the time. Complex behemoths built and run by geniuses. Virtually impossible to manage without them.
Can skip 2009-Duperreault hire. CEO’s during that period were there to babysit. Once Evan G left, (the rightful heir) Hank had a problem with succession. Once Spitzer ousted Hank, game over. Hank was one of the best underwriters walking. His pupils flourished on their own. Duperreault was one. $AIG became investable once he had his team in place.
@carlquintanilla I agree with this assumption. To borrow an old football rule, "watch their feet and not their head (mouth.)" The Fed will talk hawkish but not move again on rate increases in 2023. The data says hold. #FOMC
