DYNEGY HIRES CEO: Dynegy Inc., whose shares have plunged 98 percent this year as the energy trading business collapsed, hired Duke Energy's Bruce Williamson as chief executive as it tries to restore investor confidence. Williamson, 43, also joins Dynegy's board. Dynegy founder and CEO Charles Watson, who last year tried to buy rival Enron Corp., resigned in May after his company revealed it had engaged in sham energy trades. Dynegy has since quit trading and last month agreed to pay $3-million to settle fraud charges with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
