The following are various chronological reports about Enron. Enron was the darling of Wall Street. I have studied Enron for years and have always wanted to maintain a collection of information. I would highly recommend two books on Enron. One “Conspiracy of Fools,” and the other “Smartest Guys in the Room.”

 

Enron’s Missed Opportunity White Paper – “In 2000, Schroder’s estimated the ultimate worth of Enron’s bandwidth trading effort at $36 billion, more than the combined value of Enron’s electricity and natural gas business” (Raymond C. Niles and Dale F. Meyerhoeffer, “Bandwidth Trading: Enron,” Schroder & Co, Inc., January 12, 2000, p. 13. Skilling produced the same estimate at an investor meeting in 2001 (Adam Levy, “Inside Enron,” Bloomberg Markets, May 2001, p.31.) ) January 28, 2014
