    More on what Fishman didn't report in his story is here. It was odd that he didn't explain the Patricia Cohen did work and try to make some money for herself or that she is sick. http://christopherfountain.com/2010/03/29/another-viewpoint-on-stevie-cohen/

    http://christopherfountain.com/2010/03/26/plainfield-hedge-fund/ Buhl adds to Benner's story on why Plainfield had to move out of Greenwich. This has to mean Antares Investment Management is toast also. I wonder who is waiting in the wings to try and take over that prime piece of Greenwich Office space at 100 West Putnam. BlackRock, Building Land & Trust, some NYC CRE heavy weight?

    #4 - for the same reason Bear ended up going for higher than $2/share - because the gov't wants there to be some relief for shareholders so they don't get completely fucked.

    Jerome missed his calling, he should have been a trader on the NYMEX. Misfits rule the place.

    I'd like to see that scene replayed with Cheney as Baldwin, Bush as Lemmon, Paulson as Spacey and Bernanke as Harris.

    I agree with to the Hilt. I just bought a place and, had I gotten an ARM, my alt-A credit isn't nearly bad enough to help me get the lower rate. I'd stop paying for 3-4 months, take a nice vacation with my savings, et voila! A free 5-year lock!

    Please, I've been reading DB for months; Paul is a great candidate. The problem is that most of you 30 somethings haven't seen actual; real; grassroots support for a candidate in your lives. Kind of cool isn't it?
