zillagirl---I believe the new law you speak of is very cynical.  It truth I
am cynical about the law because I think it was enacted to give the general
public a nice warm feeling about the stock market.  If  the President of a
given Company is a thief,  he or she will not hesitate to sign off on the
financials and continue to use the Company's resources as a personal  Piggy
Bank.  When it comes down to the wire, even with the sign-off the President
of the Company will be able to get off the hook if it can be shown that he
was snookered.  So-- I do not think it amounts to a big deal except for
public relations purposes.  Do you think a stock will go up because a
President signs off on the financials? I doubt it. On the other hand, it may
go up because a bunch of Brokers told their Clients that the President
signed off on the financials and the clients buy into the "cushy" feeling
that they get as a result of being told the meaningless truth.
