Week three Course Project

The article I am choosing to work with for my course project is Enron Scandal: The Fall of a Wall Street Darling by Troy Segal as seen on Investopedia.com. I chose this article because it has a very detailed and thorough examination of not just the case at hand but of the company as a whole. There is information about Enron clearly laid out in a table of contents ranging from the origins of Enron all the way to new regulations brought on due to the company’s corruption and beyond.

Per Troy Segal the key takeaway from this article will be that:

· Enron’s leadership fooled regulators with fake holdings and off-the-books accounting practices.

· Enron used special purpose vehicles (SPVs), or special purposes entities (SPEs), to hide its mountains of debt and toxic assets from investors and creditors.

· The price of Enron’s shares went from $90.75 at its peak to $0.26 at bankruptcy.

· The company paid its creditors more than $21.7 billion from 2004 to 2011.

The Article is on Investopedia.com a respectable website known in the business world and completely unrelated to any sites such as Wikipedia. This is a webpage dedicated to news about investing and what is currently happening in the market.
