D. Consider you are a certified fraud examiner but enjoy investing in the stock market as an additional source of income. Upon doing research of Enron's stock, you notice that though its stock has a history of strong growth and a seemingly promising future, Enron's financial reports are unclear and, frankly, confusing.

Why or why not?
