Yes, I agree with you. As I said some month ago, for now it is such a non issue - or it is treated by the market rather as a feature of public companies and their directors, not a failure. One could say that the street has learned to deal with issues acting swiftly and thoroughly, as in an efficient world where success and failure is promptly valued. But it is not: News and disclosures are dripping in slowly. Companies disclose options problems one by one. Now and then, one of the executives may step back, like at UNH recently. In a less friendly market this would lead to some fallout; perhaps it takes a few months more? For example - Turn up the yahoo quote on one of such companies - e.g. Apple: finance.yahoo.com - and there is the Attention sign, featured prominently atop the AAPL quote saying what? "AAPL is delinquent in its regulatory filings", or: JNPR is delinquent in its regulatory filings... For now, no one seems to care.
