Hi Patricia, Re: Corporate fraud will be the buzz word of the first decade of the new century. That should do wonders for stock prices. Doncha think? I'm getting this sinking feeling about the markets. I keep having these timelines come to mind. 1929 - the stock market breaks 1932 - massive bank failure 1933 - four years too late, the SEC is created 1936 - Insull Trust, an electricity trading shop is exonerated, six years after investigations of market manipulation and insider self-dealing. 1937 - Richard Whitney, President of the NYSE sent to Sing-Sing Prison 1954 - Eventual recovery of confidence in stock markets Pretty gloomy to consider, eh? -Ray

Doubt it. The U.S. economy and markets are basically built on fraud and criminality. Whichever frauds the mob has looking after its interests, such as the SEC scam and other Govt. gestapos, will simply go on systematically ignoring the crimes of their owners. These gestapos aren't accountable to anyone as is becoming clearer by the day. Whichever puppet the mob has in the White House doesn't matter that much. The current one has a long experience in mob ass kissing so he's convenient - for the moment. The FRAUD NUCLEAR BOMBS haven't even started going off yet. It'll just be a question of rugs.
