I really don't use DSL either. I live in the city (although I'm moving north next month), and while I do have DSL it always seems to be down; however, my dialup connection seems plenty fast enough and extremely reliable. Of course I'm more of a swing trader so speed is not that important.

Yes, we know that; however, my point was that this act will install some fake investor confidence (because it does nothing to stop the practice of accounting fraud), that when it is discovered to be fake, will make things even worse (i.e. make investors loose confidence in the markets and the...

I've had good results from their service in the past (2yrs ago), but I can't speak to that now. certainly the quality of parts has dropped off a cliff in the past 18 months. As for the stock - it's over 50 times earnings. My god is TA but I'm smart enough to bow to the FA guys. a 50 P/E...

Anybody know about the telecom system in Chile?

I did hear something last night that the FBI is doing here in the Bay Area, that seems to have some promise. The FBI has set up a whistle blowers hotline where you can turn in the corrupt management that employees you. Supposedly, the FBI has received at least 5 very credible leads that may...

Actually I've heard that its very hard (no pun intended) to find male porn stars. Personally, I don't think I could always keep it up while everyone was watching.

Allen, KTM, After reading the case of Enron, I can understand how the auditors may have been confused and the interpretation of the financials left room for a gray area which no one truly understood until the collapse. I think we would all agree that there is a lot more gray area in...

My girlfriend has started to refer to me as Mr. Doomsday. I tell all my friends to wait a few years before they buy a house; they ignore me. I warn everyone the economy is on very shaky ground, but no one listens. I know most of my posts here are negative, but I can't help it. I feel...

So true Allen, Today the CFO is just as much a figurehead position as the CEO. In the old days the CEO was the pretty face that cheered on the company to success, while the CFO's actually ran the company. No longer. Today the CFO is considered the guy to take over when the CEO...

As Cracked already mentioned, management already attests to the "veracity of the numbers" in the rep letter. So basically what you're saying is that management has to sign two rep letters this year rather than one (big deal). Hell, CEO's usually don't even know what GAAP is, and you're...

Admittedly, I don't fully know all the details. So tell me why is this a good idea? To me this is as useful as the cops having you sign a piece a paper stating that you don't speed on the freeway. It probably won't make you confess the times you've sped in the past and it probably won't...

Amen, They may rename it the Nasdaq 25.

What's the current percentage of signoffs today?

There seems to be a lot of resistance around 8800 to me, but what do I know?

HEE HEE HEE That is funny, do you just love tempting fate? The fat lady doesn't sing until the Dow breaks 9000, until then, she's just a fat lady.

That's easy. Nobody shorts but traders. Everyone goes long Good point though.

I'm not a fan of double tops or bottoms in general, but I can't ignore the fact that the Dow closed at 8736 on the 31st. If we have a rally tomorrow that flames out midday and closes around 8735 I would say that the double top is officially in the books and you can say goodbye to the 8700's for...

As we mentioned in another forum, what good is this "sign off" going to do? If I'm an executive that has been fooling the public with faulty numbers thus far, why would I come clean and not sign off on this document. Immediately once that happens the stock price goes to hell, you lose your...

Hmmm, it's beginning to look a lot like excess everywhere you go.

I'm not saying whether that's true or not, but there is some smoke there. And you know what you usually find when you see smoke.
