Rant here.....
First of all the Enron employees and pension plan holders did not lose a lot of money, they lost paper gains. How much of their own money did they invest, is the relevant question. Those earnings were never there, so don't grieve for their loss.
Ken Lay's wife says we're poor now, we had $300 million and now it's gone. Excuse me honey but are any of your seven homes up for sale?
When anyone explains what Enron actually did for the economy we'll all feel a lot better
OK now the audit partner ... here's a guy who is paid specifically for giving his honest opinion based on his own strong convictions....and he pleads the fifth? News to Arthur Anderson and every other asshole out there....the truth is the truth. How come you won't tell it?
Former Enron VP commits suicide....jeez, over money? are you kidding me? He can't get along on what an average Joe in Houston makes?
I'm telling you folks this is the start of a new era. People will make what they are worth and companies will have to be clear about how they make money.
Enron is only the beginning. The US was built on hard labor and goods and services. Most of what is made to day is what I call a DERIVATIVE of a real good or service.
Still, investigating the Enrons of the late 20th century will be what makes the US economy stronger because Americans learn and adapt faster than any other people.
This is how the reveolution works in the US. A slow, gelatinous shift towards a better way of working. OK, a little like bullshit sliding down a hill, but you get the idea.
Am I crazy or am I crazy? I never invested in Enron for the sole reason that I didn't understand it.
End of Rant.
