Well Mr. Caruthers... Its pretty clear whose affiliated market maker was/is trading against RMTR shareholder interests... But hey, that little conflict of interest is chicken feed compared to what the Banker/Broker dealers are planning with this AIG bailout. They are making a full court press misrepresenting AIG and its broker/arbitrage problems on every media outlet they can find as being some how "insurance" related... which it most certainly is not. Their purpose is twofold: 1) To get the Fed to cover $85B worth of their worthless banking/financing obligations... whose aggregate liability no one on this planet is capable of knowing; and 2) To use the Fed's assumption of risk as a basis for arguing the need for a single federal regulator of the one remaining asset sector that Wall Street's Broker/Banks cannot now control: Insurance [And possible State and Local Pension funds which are also regulated at the state level.] It appears they have succeeded in the first objective... assuming there's either no motive or no legal recourse for shareholders to object to the terms of the Fed's loan. But either way the second objective is a far greater problem. If they should succeed there you may as well take a gun and blow your brains... the brains of any living issue you may now have... and/or the brains of any living American creature, which might stumble before your weapon, into billions of tiny little nanoparticles. Because, within 5 years time, your "so called" nation will be: (a) sold... lock stock and gun barrel... into eternal servitude and slavery (in lieu of the cash); or (b) Bomb, Bomb, Bombed back to the stone age... by the then United Mob of Angry World Villagers Alliance... which will no doubt have God on its side too. 0\|0
