If I had a few spare pennies, I would buy a little more and sit on them.....that was all.

You know Steak, if all this accounting 'irregularities' leads to every large company, or in America, Corporation, tightening their belts, then that can be nothing but good, from the ground up. MOST importantly, to ensure the safety or peoples pensions and savings. However, since we all know that from time to time, the rules are made of elastic and not rope, we need to be careful not to let the Enron tarnish remove the varnish. Thankfully, major shakedowns like this are far and few between. Thankfully too, there are many companies big and small, who whilst they employ their accountants to as creative as legally possible, ALWAYS remember, that if it were not for their staff, they would never have a reason to have an accountant in the first place. Furthermore, there will always be lawyers and accountants who will attempt a bungeeeeee jump!
(A 'bung' over in Blighty, means a back-hander or bribe or double deal). The main thrust of anger should be put into ensuring at all costs, the finance is found to compensate the people who worked hard and had pensions and savings. Bird X
