OT: re NY Times Article I agree that the NY Times - Message Board/Enron article was meaningless. Yahoo message boards have negative commentary -- about management, business models, the future -- on every publicly traded company. I only posted it for...Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why I even posted the link! :) There are very few relevant, mature, and worthwhile message boards. This thread is one of the best. Paul S/Timba & crew provide great insights and discussion. Thank you.

<<If one listened to Yahoo postings, one would never invest in anything...>>The key with any message board...indeed with news/opinion flow from all sources, is to recognize unique and valuable insight. Had I been a holder of ENE and seen the post about off-balance-sheet debt or the post: "Look at the lease obligations in the footnotes of the 10-K. There are a lot of liabilities that are not included in the balance sheet numbers." It would have encouraged me to dig deeper. OTOH, opinions that 'This is about to implode or some such' are, as you imply, common and useless.
