<<In the case of Enron's speculation in the energy market, my electricity rates went up 23% recently in Central Oregon, Portland's rates are up 40%, much of Washington State has had 50% price increases, San Diego's rates have doubled. >> Actions taken by Enron, were illegal. Further, they employed leverage that would only be available due to off-balance sheet shenanigans far beyond their natural means. If Enron is what you mean by "traders", well, then that is disingenuous. They effectively took control of a marketplace that was unregulated. There are many to blame in the Enron affair, from the company itself to the regulators, the analysts and the politicians. <<You are either naive or disingenuous>> Do you seriously equate what happened at Enron with trading ? Ray, you are smarter than that ! -Jordan
