Below are articles written by the financial press about Michael Markowski and his online financial information companies, GFNN, Inc. (formerly Newsgrade Corporation), and StockDiagnostics.com, Inc.  The articles cover Markowski conducting a post mortem (financial) autopsy on Enron enabling him to discover a Financial Statement anomaly or financial disease that could have been used to predict its sudden and abrupt December 2001 bankruptcy if it had been available.  Markowski named this financial disease “The EPS Syndrome”.   He discovered that The EPS Syndrome had also caused the deaths of more than a hundred public companies prior to Enron.  His research led to the founding of StockDiagnostics.com which provides alerts and diagnostics charts that cover the operating cash flows of all US publicly traded companies.
