If you have stocks in Chevron-Texaco, sell by the end of this year. They will be caught in the middle of a price gauging and accounting scandal that will make the Enron one look like a picnic. They will drag about a dozen companies down with them from car manufacturers down to accounting firms.
So ask away!
