The CEO is stepping into that position while retaining his CEO status. While I suppose it's possible that the CEO of Wells might step down sometime in the near future, there's no evidence of that given in the article.<br /><br />The other examples you mention indeed appear to be CEOs stepping down.kcbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129427343119498596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305505968390768234.post-28571384627721521372009-10-01T00:20:03.870-04:002009-10-01T00:20:03.870-04:00hettygreen wrote: "I don't know whether y...hettygreen wrote: "I don't know whether you are familiar with the deep solar minimum we may be entering.

With respect to the whole "global warming" thing, it buys us a *lot* of time to get our house in order.<br /><br />In other words, if this is what's happening then I expect we won't need to cut back on our CO2 output nearly as rapidly as is claimed, and we can also take some time to figure out how to quickly remove it from the atmosphere before it becomes a problem.<br /><br />None of this changes the validity (or lack thereof) of the fundamentals behind the global warming hypothesis, since those fundamentals have already been proven true (e.g., CO2 can be trivially shown to have greenhouse gas properties, as can water vapor).kcbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129427343119498596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305505968390768234.post-55817385211395148522009-09-30T23:07:29.175-04:002009-09-30T23:07:29.175-04:00"It seems that quite a few of the big banks&#..."It seems that quite a few of the big banks' CEOs have decided to "step down" or "retire" almost simultaneously by the end of this year or in the near future."<br /><br />I like to read other viewpoints, even, and especially, if I disagree with them, and I distinctly remember Cramer's book says to sell any stock when the CEO steps down, no exceptions, "just sell it."fdralloveragainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488923148019117760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305505968390768234.post-51286073612961285582009-09-30T23:04:24.404-04:002009-09-30T23:04:24.404-04:00"Please give the link that we are cooler than..."Please give the link that we are cooler than 1900.

I d...Is this why the price of oil jumped 5% today?<br /><br />I don't know whether you are familiar with the deep solar minimum we may be entering. The prolonged absence of sunspots has, in the past, portended periods of solar quiescence. The most recent and noteworthy Maunder Minimum lasted almost 100 years from the early 17th to early 18th century. It ended around the time of the South Sea Bubble. The radiological and dendrochronological evidence from this period suggests average temperatures were much cooler. There was a briefer solar minimum in the 15th century (the Thames River was reported freezing over) and one that has also been blamed for a mini ice age at or around the time of the Vikings. Fascinating stuff in terms of sociological, political and economic correlation. Just google Maunder Minimum and you will be reading for hours.<br /><br />Our immediate weather future in the western hemisphere may be influenced more by the strong el Nino. The most obvious effect has been the absence of any hurricanes of consequence (so far). Environment Canada is calling for a milder winter and below normal precipitation for the more populous areas (which would include most of the northeastern US). Who knows? Their powers of prediction are not infallible however my back and wallet will be happier if they are right.hettygreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942359318618747424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305505968390768234.post-12475583059427981692009-09-30T19:01:44.157-04:002009-09-30T19:01:44.157-04:00Didn't you read the Rolling Stone article?
