...insiders (corporate officers required by law to report when they buy or sell their company's shares) have been selling more than three shares for every one that they buy--the highest level in a decade, says Bob Gabele, who tracks such activity for CDA/InvestNet.

Even at such blue-chip companies as GE and Procter & Gamble, where insiders rarely sell, they've been dumping stock.

We've managed to rear generations of well-adjusted children who have taken their places as respected members of our communities, unlike the amoral animals who perpetrated the Arkansas tragedy.

...also consider simply plunking some money in a well-run regional bank-stock mutual fund like Fidelity's or John Hancock's. Both are up more than 55% in the past 12 months. There are still some 9,100 banks out there. A fund gives you broad exposure to the deal mania that has been lifting the industry for years...
