  Posted by Damianmann from Yahoo News!

- Going dark: public companies and public interest
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The trend of so many companies delisting and going dark to escape the costs of Sarbanes-Oxley is not in the public interest because it undermines the rise of the citizen investor who is now reshaping corporations and changing the way they behave.

- More bankruptcies on the way
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Prepare for a new wave of bankruptcies over the next six to 18 months, experts are predicting. There are a number of triggers that could set off the wave of bankruptcies, While nearly half say interest rates could be the triggers, others point to home prices, commodity prices, global competition, the equity bear market, the decline in consumer spending and unfunded pension plans. All this comes from a time when credit was easy to get and when a low-interest environment made debt cheap. It looks like some companies will be paying the price.
