The market as a whole is a lie (bluff, deception, renamed debt, hidden asset, tax dodge, fraud, proxy, bonus, projected earnings - all a game played by rule-bending or breaking) individual companies may be true. Show me one.

I will do no such thing. It is YOU that is making the specious claim, so YOU back it up with quantitative data.

Illegal 'accounting irregularities' at some companies do NOT make the 'whole market a lie.'

True it doesn't make the whole market a lie .. but the stories I have heard .. many companies do play with the numbers like Arthur Anderson did

Might explain some reasons why the market is a little jumpy these days ..
