>Mike, I don't think that corporate sleaze in the accounting numbers is peculiar to this manic bull market, but I think it is much more pervasive this time. Also, there is no sense of outrage.

Micheal, I sense plenty of outrage as I peruse the SI threads. Just
look for phrases like "management isn't maximizing shareholder value"
or "needs to reward us owners". Most SI members are outraged when
management of the company whose stock they just purchased doesn't
do some creative accounting. Stock owners are not only accepting
inflated reports, they are demanding them.
