"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
Anybody who thinks the namby-pamby 'corporate responsibility' laws currently before Congress are going to do anything for the stock market in the short term needs a few adjustments. They're going to lower reported profits, not raise them. Besides, our current problems stem from actions that took place last quarter, last year, the year before. Oh, and stock prices that are still far too high. Nothing in any of the proposed legislation is going to fix either of these problems. posted by David at 7/30/2002 07:43:00 AM ::
