INVESTMENT IDEAS Market on the cusp, investors on the edge You can't stand the truth, so stay in the kitchen By Charles Payne, principal analyst, Wall Street Strategies There is no doubt that the topic of the week is trust. Each day saw a new scandal and a new perpetrator. Even though Enron (ENE) continues to hog the headlines, the Houston based energy trader (I guess that's what they were) wasn't the only company called to the mat on ethics and accounting (next month the country celebrates Lincoln's birthday, and although he'd be beaming about how everyone has come together to support the battle against evil, he wouldn't be too happy with the goings on in the corporate world). In the meantime, corporate earnings took a back seat to the daily revelations of improprieties. Even the eagerly awaited testimony of Alan Greenspan became a sideshow of sorts. After spending the last year or so soul-searching for reasons as to why they took such an unceremonious bath in the stock market, investors have come to find that they were never fully aware of the goings-on behind closed doors. There are a lot of questions to be answered, both legal and ethical, yet in many ways we already know the answers and will never get the details.
