Accentuating the caveat emptor perspective with critical commentary on financial disclosure. I adopt a skeptical persona and look for chinks in the teflon coating of financial disclosure. My job is to identify financial warts. Perhaps a Black Swan. Disclosure: I do not hold positions in stocks mentioned for three trading days before or after blog post.

Frozen Food Mumbo Jumbo
Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:FFEX) releases the long awaited 10K for 2005. Numbers seem pretty good. They also announce that they feel that they can meet Nasdaq's continued listing requirements and file a 10Q by June 30. Then they throw in a legalese jargon challenging paragraph saying that while they think they can file the 10q in time there is no assurance the the company will be able to do so. All this two weeks before the due date. This is not safe harbor wording. Management is still not confident that all the problems have been worked out.
