- Q:
We used to have the big eight accounting firms. Now we are down to what, four?
Who audits these financial companies, a bunch of fifth graders? Andersen took
the hit for Enron where's the outcry for heads to roll in these CPA firms who
obviously grossly dropped the ball on asset valuation with regard to these
securities? And Sarbanes Oxley has made auditing more difficult. -

then invite foreign countries in for added competition.....seemed like news was first to

thing. protect the banks! so when should we expect to see that chinese car running around

A: most everything Brazil (including MELI, which i still hold) is highly leverd to energy and
mining. So, with EWZ you've got the risk/reward of emerging markets PLUS the risk/reward
of commodity moves. Ouitlook unclear, short-term, but alot brighter long-term, if you have
the "capital wherewithall" to wait for it. "Good things come to those who
wait", but alot of good passes by while U wait, too. more - Post your own answer

A: Chrysler is in trouble, but the lack of leases is the least of the problems. Lack of the
right product and burning cash are the biggest. I heard Cerberus is looking to sell to
another manufacturer...but I am not sure who really wants them. more - Post your own answer
