Today as always, most CEOs rely on their financial advisors to know the details, to interpret the indicators, and to keep them informed.

I was surprised to see at that time that AT&T and Sprint shares dropped on the WorldCom news, since a WorldCom bankruptcy could actually benefit them by eliminating a major competitor.
