Gee, what a smashing bloke that Branson is - here's just another example of his generosity:
Virgin Blue founder Sir Richard Branson, who has agreed to cut his 29.1 per cent stake down to 25.1 per cent due to the high demand for shares, later said he was "delighted" at the stock's debut price. "We'll have to wait until the close of play today but from the way it's going, it's looking good so far," Sir Richard told AAP.
where would all the poor punters be if Branson wasn't here to cash in? Perhaps in 12-18 months time many will rue the decision to jump on the virgin bandwagon.
However, as long as Godfrey, Hutton, Raby et al make mega $$$ on the backs of their staff, then I guess it's all o.k....
