Bush announces 'financial crimes SWAT team' President George W Bush has called for stiff new penalties for corporate criminals and a crackdown on boardroom scandals. He made the call in a speech on Wall Street. channels.netscape.com. President Bush announced a new task force for the pursuit and prosecution of corporate criminal activity. He said, "We will use the full weight of the law to expose and root out corruption." The president called on the US Sentencing Commission to recommend longer prison terms for corporate executives guilty of fraud. The task force will be headed by Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson and include investigators from the Department of Justice and other agencies. Bush likened it to a "financial crimes SWAT team, overseeing the investigation of corporate abusers and bringing them to account." Copyright Ananova 2002 all rights reserved

<Actually DAK, last I checked, all the shares issued and being bought on the markets every day are being held by Mr Market. Shareholders, including those who bought all the shares today, obviously see profits worth holding stocks for at the moment. Therefore, your idea is incorrect. > LOL, correct, I should have said, Mr. Market reduces daily what he thinks the profit of holding stocks will be. Feel better?? <Maybe you have different ideas about what's a significant price change> Everyone has different ideas... it's done no where but up looking back a couple years. With the extent of ownership as a reserve, it could literally go anywhere with the Fed printing so many. Quite frankly I find it shocking any foreigners would hold any at this price vs GOLD. DAK
