How about:

   "Invest wisely in companies you know something about: what
    their products are, what the state of their business
    environment is in."

(Aside from just a wide-open discussion about morals that is ...)

The Motley Fool wrote about those guys (Enron) several years
back - and asked some pretty pointed questions like: What
kind of shape would Enron be in if a biggie like the CBOT
(Chicago Board of Options) decided to get into "Energy Trading"
like Enron pioneered?

(Energy trading was what did Enron in - as the cost of natural
gas plummeted that last year Enron was still doing business)?
