Cuban’s Demand For Legal Fees May Have Spurred SEC Appeal

Last week the SEC announced that it intended to appeal the dismissal of insider trading charges against Mark Cuban. Cuban is accused of having sold his stake in Mamma.com after the company’s chief executive officer informed him that the company planned to issue additional shares in the company. This move reportedly saved Cuban around $750,000.

In order to gain some insight on the SEC’s motivation for pursuing the Cuban case further, 24/7 Wall St. conducted an interview with Peter J. Anderson, a member of Sutherland Asbill & Brennan’s litigating practice. Anderson has extensive experience representing clients against SEC charges. This includes the representation of one of the four Arthur Anderson partners involved in the Enron case. In this interview Anderson argues that the SEC “should have been happy to take the judge’s decision and just move on to their next case”, but that Cuban’s suit for reimbursement of legal fees renewed the wrath of the regulator.

American Companies Selling More $1 Products (AAPL)(KRT)(WMT)(MCD)(SBUX)

American companies are increasingly offering products for $1 or less. Some are among the largest firms in the United States such as Wal-Mart (WMT) and McDonald’s (MCD). Other are smaller but use big distribution networks like the Apple (AAPL) iPhone App store to reach millions of consumers.

The most obvious reason for pricing products at $1 is to keep customers during a recession. When Radio Shack (RSH) sells four batteries for $.99, it may be the only way that it gets consumers to buy anything from Radio Shack at all. People may not be able to afford the retailer’s more expensive products. The fact that Radio Shack can offer something cheap and of real value keeps consumers “in touch” with the brand which will benefit the company when the economy recovers and higher priced consumer electronics begin to sell well again.

He came on CNBC on Thursday and he stated a target of 1,000 on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Yes, that was a “1″ as in a 1,000 call. If you were buying the DIAMONDS Trust, Series 1 (NYSE: DIA) ETF on his call if he is right, you’d get to pay $10.00 per share.

From someone named “Dr. Doom” by the public that could be good enough.
