And, that fact was published in the annual report, which by law, is required to be mailed to each and every shareholder.

To be truthful,I didn't know that! Thanks very much for the information.I wonder would that piece of info be on a separate page or as a footnote? Either way,from what I see,Halliburton has done nothing wrong,and neither has VP Cheney!

And one more thing,it seems rather strange to me that only a handful of people are suing Halliburton.If there were any kind of fraud,wouldn't more people be suing? Hmmmmm!?

So true. Virtually all the "nefarious deeds" were part of the annual report in the Notes sections. If investors were not savvy enough to read AND UNDERSTAND these, then they were silly to invest without getting further advice. Even Enron had its off-balance-sheet and special-purpose-entity info in the Notes. That's why I wouldn't have invested in it; I could see this stuff. If I could, why couldn't other people? I'm an English major, for crying out loud!!!!! If I am not mistaken, WorldCom is the only one that just simply lied. Everyone else just was very clever in their modes of disclosure. I could be wrong here. As I said, I'm an English major so am a real amateur in this dept.
