Lesson to be learned: Lying and deceit will get you in the end.

The lawsuits are being filed, the PUC is so ticked off that Duke will be the red-headed stepchild for the next decade, and the stock's price performance since the ol' "switcheroo" proves that I was correct in dumping it when I did....and I'm still not convinced that dividend will stand for long.

Here's hoping that the shareholders fire every director who came from Duke at the next general meeting.
