ews of stockbroker Chung Wu's plight at PaineWebber is disturbing. He was fired for telling his customers that they should sell Enron, albeit through an impermissible email message. PaineWebber had a buy recommendation on the stock, had an investment banking relationship with the company, managed the company's stock option program and handled brokerage account for many company executives.

But what about Wu and the duties that he was trying to fulfill to his customers? Wu was looking out for his clients' best interests, and he was fired for doing so. That's not right. His clients should follow him to his new firm, and file arbitration actions against PaineWebber to recover their Enron-related losses.
