Are you implying that some companies misrepresent their earnings? That would mean that they are crooked. What's in it for them? I also heard that the markets can be fixed by the specialists. HA! What honest specialist would do that? Then, there are these companies that make more buying and selling options on their stocks, some people say. Totally outrageous and without merit! Why would Mike Dell, my saviour, have to worry about his stock when he knows pc sales are going to boom in the sub $1000 range? China? How many billions of rich farm workers are over there that need computers? I read on this thread that someone thinks analysts get tipped off before poor earnings. Why would a company do that? What's in it for them? No one can price fix a stock, it is totally impossible! All this business about companies pooling revenues from acquired companies is rediculous. They are consolidating an industry so they can be more profitable! You people better get on board, and get over your paranoia! This bull market is going to give you the business end of his horns!
