Corporate Governance

Good corporate governance - pointing out corporate directors who should and shouldn't be elected anywhere. This is my attempt to keep track of good people for board of directors and keep track of people who should be avoided.

ISIS Pharma

Thanks to Jim Cramer for pointing this one out.

ISIS Pharma. They put out a press release talking about how good their new experimental drug is. They also says that the drug had a "strong safety profile".

Then they're quarterly report says the drug had some liver issues.

Shame on this company for putting out a press release intended to mislead the investing public.
