Las Vegas Sands exec gets a sure deal…
There is at least one thing that the powers-that-be at Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) aren’t willing to gamble on – the continued employment of Robert G. Goldstein, an Executive Vice President and the President of its Global Gaming Operations. Goldstein has been with the company for a long time. His biography in the April, 2012...
Does Abercrombie’s emperor have any clothes?
It’s probably best not to think too hard about how things work at Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) without plenty of coffee. Even then, good luck making sense of it all. The most obvious question, of course, is why a company that sells clothing features models who wear little (if any) of its fashions. We wrote about...
Wendy’s pays big dough for move to Ohio…
In the ring of cities that orbits Columbus, Ohio, Dublin occupies the northwest corner, a short 25-minute drive from the state’s capital. Among its other claims to fame, it’s where The Wendy’s Co. (WEN) has its corporate headquarters. And there are close to a million reasons why it may soon become “Home Sweet Home” for...
J. C. Penney’s new multi-million-dollar man…
Today’s the first day of work for Kenneth H. Hannah, the new Executive Vice President and CFO at J. C. Penney, Inc. (JCP).

A look at Wynn’s winners…
The lucky streak for casino executives continues, as demonstrated by the 10-K/A that Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) filed yesterday. Now normally, as footnoted readers know, the most “entertaining” information about compensation and perks comes in the form of a proxy. But Wynn’s March proxy filings (a PRE 14A and a DEFA 14A) focused solely on...

Masimo CEO’s family comes along for the ride…
It wouldn’t surprise us if the people holding the strongest opinions about Masimo Corporation (MASI) – a medical technology company with a $1.3 billion market cap based in Irvine, California – fall into one of two camps. Those who hold the most favorable opinions about the company, we suspect, may be the immediate family members...

Monster Beverage execs get bulging stock awards…
The energy drink business is a big one, and for the top executives at the Monster Beverage Corp. (MNST), that led to some monster-sized rewards last year, according to the proxy filed yesterday. Specifically, Rodney Sacks, Monster’s Chairman, CEO, and a director, received stock unit awards for fiscal 2011 worth more than $10.97 million. Another...
The many paychecks of Barry Diller…
No one can accuse Barry Diller of putting all his eggs in one basket. Indeed, the busy septuagenarian just got a few new “eggs,” thanks to the 8-K that TripAdvisor, Inc. (TRIP) filed late last Friday afternoon. Filed at 4:02 p.m. on April 20, the brief filing (which also gives Stephen Kaufer, TripAdvisor’s president and CEO, a...
