One Liners: Quick Hits For A Quiet Valentines Day

By Joe Weisenthal

• What Ben and Hank watched to get psyched up for today’s Capitol Hill hearing.
• Is MainStreet.com the worst idea ever? Or is Portfolio just super-psyched not to be the newest kid on the street anymore?
• MBIA wants you to trust the accuracy of their internal risk analysis and forget you ever heard of Bill Ackman.

    BG – Look out if you’re working with Bob S. at BBH – he’s an unprincipled psychopath.

    Was reading through MBIA’s letter in response to Ackman’s, and at 1st glance, it seems MBIA pointed out some glaring holes/errors/conflicts of interests/etc in Ackman’s case.
    Just curious how they are claiming that they cannot be compelled to make payouts within 2 years, and most are 30+ year payouts?
