Oops, I just remembered...she increased Gulfstream's sales 
significantly.  And then she flew around the world burning jet fuel at a 
record pace while preaching ecology (and she's not the only one...I'm not 
only picking on Carly).  I think these events showed up on HP's income 
statement, and subsequently, were reflected in its stock price, which is 
why I sold mine long ago.  Remember people, you have more power than you 
may realize.  I helped depress HP's stock price, which ultimately led to 
her removal (OK, maybe I have visions of grandeur, also, but you get my point).
