I noticed that some of their energy trading was done from
Swedish firms. Home of the notorious Mark Rich. Could an outfit trade
energy in a country as small as Sweden and not have the largest trader there
not have a hand in it? This is pure hyperbole but it would not be surprising
.
NW: I thought Marc Rich was based in
Switzerland? Isn't that where Bill & Hilliary Clinton go for
skiing?

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>most people do not understand stocks much less bonds and second greed
is powerful and many w/ the largest 401k are all so relatively young and
willing to take risk and lastly most people do not like or want the
government telling them how to invest.

ReactionI notice the general media is starting to
concentrate on the harmsuffered by Enron employees that had large
investments in company stockin their 401k and were burned when the
manager was changed (freezing theaccounts) at the same time the stock
plummeted to almost nothing. Adviceis being given for employees of
other companies to look at their own401k and diversify.My gut
reaction is that this has to be bad for stocks and good forbonds,
given the current condition of the stock market and the
likelyconservatism of the 401k holders. (Once you have made the
decision todiversify, are you really likely to do so in a risky
fashion?)Does anyone have any thoughts about how individual stocks
may beaffected? I would think recently successful companies will be
more proneto being 'diversified down', companies that have done very
well over thelast 3-5 years. These companies will be more prone to
having createdlarge involuntary concentrations of risk for their
employees accounts.The ultimate example may be MSFT, which has
continued to make itsemployees very wealthy, has been successful in
any reasonable time frameyou choose, and is now subject to ongoing
legal action of indeterminatesize. Would you keep you millions in
retirement dough in MSFT stock, orwould you, in light of the Enron
case, look to sell MSFT and put yourmoney elsewhere?Your
thoughts would be
