I think they fixed it... ....by getting rid of it.

Well, you could set your chart to 30min bars and grab the high of the 1st bar...

Sent a message also. Maybe by dividing by 2 they are making the numbers smaller, so the data travels faster.... Why would they muck with just passing the data along...?

IB TICK having another bad day?

That's pretty bad when they can't even pass along proper data - why are they changing it? How do you know any other chart you are looking at is actually showing you the correct price bars?

With Obama doing so many "firsts", maybe he will choose a minority to be Fed Chairman next time - not sure if that's ever happened before...

Who is the author of that opinion? It doesn't say. Anyway, who would want any oversight - like when Greenspan was keeping rates artificially low for so long? It was much easier to do that without anyone second-guessing him.

Bring back Dana Perino

I don't see what that has to do with the taxpayer. Firms that AIG owed money to had a legal avenue for redress.

Split-strike conversions?

No, he meant "contained" (on planet earth).

asiaprop is correct in that GS and others should have taken it's payment due up with the US legal system, suing AIG for what it was owed. There might have been an argument about not doing sufficient due diligence on it's insurer, but that would have been a legal battle for the courts.

Amen. Obamanomics is scary shyt! But the GOP has to dump McConnell and Boehner while they are changing the guard too.

The recourse GS and others had was to sue AIG for the money they were owed.

I see your point, and you are correct. But by that same logic, who told AIG to write insurance that they didn't have reserves to pay up on? Let GS and others they insured sue Joe Cassano and AIG executives for it.

I watch her on Fox News sometimes. http://www.nypost.com/seven/07192009/business/good_for_goldman__bad_for_america_180130.htm GOOD FOR GOLDMAN, BAD FOR AMERICA "Goldman gets the most attention for its deft handling of its own account, but a big chunk of its trading pie also involves...

The system is tilted in their favor. Whether you think that is capitalism or socialism depends on your point of view. For instance, even when "caught" doing something illegal, financial companies merely pay a fine, chalk it up to a cost of business, "admit no wrongdoing", and keep on keeping on.

I think a lot of the anger at GS - even all of Wall St - is that they are not really capitalist. With a guaranteed gov't backstop now, they are socialist. Also, they are at best, capitalist helper (like hamburger helper), they don't really grow the economic pie, just mostly redistribute it...

I never watched this guy before. Is he the first one to bring this up? What about WSJ or Washington Post or Time or whatever...?

Is that where he got the number for TARP - just replace the "m" with a "b"? At least he didn't pull the number out of a hat.
