i don't like to see is another regulatory body that has to be paid for some way by business which is another tax. I don't want to see the Sec over do it with new regulations either, government authorities over time can be a burden, a tax on productivity. But something has to be done, so be it, if will help restore confidence of financial reporting.

The problem does not begin with Enron or the accounting profession -- it begins with the people who would turn the financial markets into this -- ad.doubleclick.net So long as you do not see this you will never get to the bottom of the problem. In gambling there are no valuations, only the game at hand and "unlimited potential". So long as you say it is ok to turn investment into gambling for those people like Bill who "believe" in gambling then you will never get rid of the scum, the fools and the professional assistants that pervade the sleazy side of the investment world.
