Motley Fool's Gardner on Challenges of Internet Fraud: Comment Washington, March 22 (Bloomberg) -- The following are comments from Thomas M. Gardner, founder of The Motley Fool investment newsletter, in testimony before a Senate subcommittee: ''Securities fraud is a significant problem, and it takes place on the Internet, over the telephone, in restaurants, on the trading floors of the exchanges, and in boardrooms. As far as securities fraud is concerned, the Internet is just another medium through which people communicate with each other.'' ''If government regulation and enforcement are medicine to cure the disease of securities fraud, then the public needs immunization, too. That immunization is education.'' ''If people knew enough not to make investment decisions based upon tips, rumors, and touts and did their homework, they would not fall for most stock frauds on the Internet or otherwise.'' 17:33:29 03/22/1999
