The Motley Fool takes a humorous look at the nebulous
category of “other compensation” in SEC filings – pointing out that security
expenses are a favorite:
Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Eric Schmidt, another guy with a $1
salary, got nearly $500,000 for personal security.
What the heck are these guys so afraid of, that shareholders
should foot the bill for "other compensation" like security expenses?
I've come up with some possible ideas:
- Killer mold.
- A group of terrorists kind of like the ones in
that movie that time, you know, with Bruce Willis.
