Today's Barron's Magazine ousted Kenneth Chenault from its WORLD'S [30] BEST CEOS[sic], as American Express is "mired in credit-quality problems", as is ex-listee GE Jeffrey Immelt.

Last year, the Barron editors wrote "The keeper of American Express... knows how to ride all the waves." The same editors praised, then pried, Dick Fuld/Lehman and Angelo Mozilo/Countrywide.

Warren Buffett remains on the list, with Berkshire stock down 50% but they still have 24 billion dollars in cash..

Incidentally, the Wikipedia was revised last month to say that Barron's Magazine readers ( 90% male sharing 300,000 copies) average $400K/year with a net worth of $4,000,000 net worth. I believe its impossible for average Americans to accumulate 10 times their pre-tax, pre-housing, pre-disposable income. Maybe the entry is wrong, maybe its misleading, maybe these are rich kids who "play hard, inherit hard".
