The same could be said for....ok wait, let me close my eyes, and throw a dart at the stock pages. I mean c'mon ed......how many companies pulled very questionable bull$hit last year. One monute they are saying how great everything is, meanwhile they are selling their stock and reporting $hitty numbers two weeks later. In your thinking, we need to take a look at at least 50% of the companies out there because the list goes on and on and on. So many companies and their management painted such rosey pictures when they knowingly knew how bad things were. Under that premise, we best just buy gold and stick it under the mattress, huh. Nobody down there is gonna manipulate things. And as I said in my previous post.....many, many people had financial disasters last year and many of them are ceo's of some pretty damned big firms.......last year created alot of pain for alot of people....you just selectively give points that could be considered on many, many companies....you question the ability of the ceo and vp to properly manage their company....well, I hope your also out there questioning bill gates, larry ellison, micheal dell and everybody else, because as I see it, there are alot of companies that were "managed very poorly if you go by stock price"...and how do you trust management such as ellison who is saying how great everything is at oracle, yet is selling HALF his shares in the company while he is painting this rosey picture. Why is the SEC looking into Ellison and his trading activities......and orcl is a pretty damned big and impressive company, so your points about icge may be tru, but they are also true to an awful lot of companies and management people out there........
