CNN ^

[RoughDobermann]

NEWS ALERT Martha Stewart resigns as CEO of her company after indictment on obstruction of justice and securities fraud charges. Details soon.

[JLO]

You're welcome. BTW (By The Way) you'll see alot of ROFLOA's around sometimes too. Guess what that one means. It starts out with Rolling on Floor...

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Fine, pass information about a company around. But when the people who hold the purse strings dump stock in order to save money and stick their investors that PUT THEM THERE with a loss, it is WRONG.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

But nobody ever knows that a property is about to lose value.

LOL! Yes they do! Thats why they call it "Insider Trading"!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Anytime a CEO says "sell, and sell big" the stock is going to drop.

[LurkerNoMore!]

Time for some real talent to step up to the plate!

I'm way to edgy. And feel there are some things you just shouldn't recycle.

[LurkerNoMore!]

I don't get it either, Pardek

[wizzler]

JLO, I sincerely appreciate your eagerness to help. I mean it. But I know what "LOL" means, and I know what "ROTF-blah-blah" means. The "um" in my earlier post was a signal that I was being facetious.

[LurkerNoMore!]

Reg, don't you have something along this line?

[Senator Pardek]

I'm way to edgy.

And too late.

[MississippiMan]

That's nice and funny, but I think you probably meant PESKY blood stains?

MM

[geege]

I know she was a bitch but I loved her recipes. In honor of her resignation I made her asparagas panzanella salad for dinner......it was delish!!!!!

[LurkerNoMore!]

Dad gum you.

I hate it when you win, you know.

Anyone who values liberty, capitalism and the free market SHOULD have sympathy for her.

Or at least have sympathy for what this might do to others in the future as a result. The fact of the matter is that "insider trading" laws are just plain wrong. It allows the feds to stick their noses where they don't belong. Anyone who thinks these laws serve to help the free market doesn't understand the concept of a free market.

I don't get it either, Pardek

I'll answer you with a question.

Of all the women you have ever encountered online, which one would you say seems to have the least in common with Martha Stewart?

I hope that helps.

The only thing the government should be involved in with regards to the marketplace is prosecuting FRAUD. That's it. Pursuing the act of "insider trading" is what's antithetical to freedom. It's based on a socialist impulse to create an egalitarian distribution of property. It is born of envy, jealousy and a dislike of capitalism.

I agree with you partly, but in this case Martha may have had information about Waksal's fraudulent activities. I still think the government is being overzealous in this case, and it's disappointing to see so many Republicans and conservatives lined up with their torches and pitchforks.

[Senator Pardek]

That's OK - you don't have mold in your shower - I lose.

[Senator Pardek]

Me?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

P.S. If Martha Stewart ever starts publicly using words like "arse" and "sh/t", please let me know. : )

[Howlin]

LOL!

[Light Speed]

For someone who is the "Diva of being on top"..her and her lawyers missed the Legal offramp known as 'The 5th Amendment'...

Take the 5th....SHUT UP...their is only 1 witness...the Feds are not likely to prosecute on 1 witness...so Martha gets to make a deal.

its too late now...and the smell of blood is definetely in the water.
