Now with WorldCom admitting hidding debt and falsifing its cash flow we have a second major company becomming worthless. This also shows major companies are not being self regulated via accounting firms. Now with most major companies being international one contries laws have little impact other than encouraging the corporate office to move overseas. So who do you trust? Who is next? To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step towards Knowledge. Benjamin Disraeli

I trust everyone if they wil explicitly or implicitly finance my firm. If they weant to boroow money , trade finance or otherwise it's somewhat different. Alice thought that running very fast for a long time would get you to somewhere else. " A very slow kind of country!" said the queen. "Now, here , you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place".
