I didn't know how to title this. It will make sense once you see it working. The green bar represents income, the orange bars represent housing prices in selected cities. The graph starts to dance. Music is some kind of catchy jazz number with a sultry-throated chanteuse. Very well done. The creator is Nick Gogerty.
The date was not a typo. I wonder if Citigroup will be dealt with by then. Rubin's progeny will be running the show from an underground bunker near Davenport, Iowa. 25 links inside.
Commentary from James who is at work on his dissertation yet can not stop thinking about justice and revenge: More good stuff from Ritholtz on Citigroup and TBTF (too big to fail). Talks about one of my favorite topics -- pitchforks and torches. Also discusses clawing back fraudulently earned bonuses at Citi, Merrill and Countrywide. I rate this one 4 Tines.
Barry Ritholtz and John Tamney on some Glenn Beck Fox show (kidding, but let's be honest Beck deserves some ridicule for his melodrama--he's not the host of this clip however) discussing the first Obama stimulus, the need for a second date with Porkulus, and the bailouts. Includes about 30 seconds of Warren Buffett and his viagra comment in case you missed that. Solid discussion.
Until I have commentary and links completed, just read Greenwald's newest piece on the billion-dollar truth, Wasington capture, and corruption at Goldman Sachs.
Here are today's links part 1 if you missed them...and 18 new links for part 2 are here.
