I keep waiting for someone to ask the FTC, SEC, etc., exactly what they've
been doing with their budgets for the past decade or so. Doesn't seem like
anyone has been minding the store except members of congress collecting
money from business interests with little, if any, attention to public
interest.

Enron was the number one contributor in the energy sector. Any bets on
WorldCom in the telecom sector?

If shareholders ever look up from the short-term bottom line they might
notice the horses are long gone from the barns.

In the 2002 Election cycle WorldCom has not cracked the top 20 to date:

They were #16 in the 2000 election cycle:

They also did not crack the top 20 in the 1998 election cycle:

I do find it interesting that Global Crossing was #1 in the 2000
election cycle, and is #2 to date in the 2002 election cycle. Not
surprising, but interesting.

Hope this helps, and hope that was not just a rhetorical question ;}.

Paying fat cats and doing their own investing. I bet the FTC, SEC, etc.
have more NASDAQ lusers just due to their "insider knowledge".
