I want the SEC to leave the good companies like Apple and Dell alone and selectively prosecute real fraud. Not everybody for every grey area accounting rule. Nor the "housing bubble". that was not fraud. How about putting the uptick rule back in practice?

i credit you for speaking strongly about this; definitely on techs since 2003, maybe even earlier but i no longer remember.... stanford (not the school) and madoff are just 2 of the high profiles, there are far too many others we don't hear about. statistics show that 1 out of every 100 americans are in jail. i venture to say that if all wall street crooks and tax cheats are caught, that would be more like 1 in 50. obama's idea of no charitable contributions and mortgage interest deductions may not be a bad idea. in fact, obama should talk to forbes and get some flat tax legislation in place. the more loop holes, the bigger the rats moving through them. paul
