Penny Idiots (not you) always throw Enron at me (or perhaps WFC this week LOL!).

That's why I also warn against inscrutable business plans or always hitting street earnings projections (perfection is a red flag). Enron did pay a dividend, a token one. Scams rarely want to share their cash with the marks.

The fact that Poster Boys Enron and Arthur Andersen blew up >14 years ago shows how clean the 2,500 stocks on the NYSE have been since.

Note too that such clean stocks have performed very well, raising dividends and appreciating nicely.

(perfection is a red flag). Wasn't that what brought down Madoff? He never had a bad year.
