Directors skip Home Depot’s annual shareholders’ meeting.
According to today’s W$J (see here), only a single director (the Chairman and CEO) attended Home Depot Inc.’s recent annual shareholders’ meeting, and he refused to answer questions as to why the other directors were not there.

Lay *and* Skilling Found Guilty
See here! Skilling was found guilty of 19 counts (incl. conspiracy, fraud, false statements and insider trading). Lay was found guilty on 6 counts (fraud and conspiracy). I imagine both men will make model prisoners, although Lay might be the better prisoner, since he is very good at closing his eyes to bad things and ... Lay *and* Skilling Found Guilty
Vonage IPO flop magnifies FWP snafu.
As you’ve probably heard, Vonage’s IPO was a flop. It closed down 12.6% from its IPO price of $17. This represented the weakest first day performance of an IPO in nearly two years. It also greatly magnifies the apparent technical violations of the Securities Act I blogged about yesterday (see here). As Voange disclosed in ... Vonage IPO flop magnifies FWP snafu.
Lawyer Licensing: Where's the Data?
Larry Ribstein and Jonathan Wilson are discussing the merits of lawyer licensing at Point of Law.

Some Reactions to FTC Report on "Gouging"
I posted on the FTC Report findings earlier. In sum, the FTC was able to identify only isolated and sporadic incidences of pricing behavior which were not explained by changes in supply and demand conditions at the local, regional, and national level. In addition, the FTC investigation did not reveal any antitrust violations. The reactions ... Some Reactions to FTC Report on "Gouging"
W$J Letters to the Editor; Organ Sales; Prostitution
You might have noticed that prostitution was on my list of things to talk about while blogging on truthonthemarket. Had I been blogging a decade ago, both prostitution *and* organ sales would have been on my list. You see, I have maintained for over a decade that the Supreme Court’s plurality opinion in Planned Parenthood v. ... W$J Letters to the Editor; Organ Sales; Prostitution
Vonage commits technical violation of Securities Act
I blogged earlier about Vonage taking advantage of recently liberalized SEC rules that allow the use of written marketing materials during the IPO waiting period (see here). Specifically, they emailed a letter to their customers regarding a directed share program. They then followed up the letter with a voicemail blast (see here). All this is ...

Defining Words
Words and their meanings can be tricky as an absolute matter; moreso when used as tools in the law. I have vague recollections of the interesting cases from first year contracts class where the contracting parties had gotten themselves all tied up by attributing differing meanings to the same words. Good times, good times. And the ...
