The same could be said of Enron, before it collapsed.
The same could be said of MCI, before it collapsed.
The same could be said of the executives of Pan American Airlines
before they collapsed.
The same could be said of Gerstner who sold a ton of shares right
before IBM announeced less than Wall Streets projected profits.
See a pattern here?
In case you don't, many people got rich on the above companies.
They were all publicly traded and under extreme scrutiny by
the SEC and so forth.
Still, there was all kinds of hi-jinks going on behind the
glass wall and when the wall finally collapsed, it was
average Joe holding the bag which should have been full
with money to pay for his kids college, his retirement etc.
IOW you put too much faith in the people policing the system.
