RealStrat in the News

by Andrew B. Zezas, SIOR


In the 1960's television series, "Get Smart", a play on words in and of itself, Agent Maxwell Smart considered himself to be cunning, knowledgeable, and very....Smart. In fact, he was a bumbling, funny, idiot, who despite his obvious shortcomings, always captured the agent from the evil enemy organization, known as Chaos.

It is the latest addition to the collection of software the SEC has been rolling out with an eye to possibly making the use of XBRL mandatory, which could happen by the end of 2008. [more]
