• 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.

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?
