"Jamie Dimon Seen As Good Fit For Treasury" -- Yeah, just the way that Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci were great "fits" in the movie Casino; only this ain't no damn movie.

Ron Paul on Squawk Box talking to Kernan, Liesman and Santelli about Fed and the bill. Video should be up after 9 am.

The Bloomberg article on Timmy is an obit. It's a done deal.

Sadly, Mickey Mouse could take the job at Treasury now and it wouldn't mean shit.
The damage is done. Stick a fork in the Dollar.

Re Bloomberg Geitner article. Nothing coming out of the American Enterprise Institute has credibilty. Where were these guys during the GWB years. If you answered "promoting dead ideas and looking the other way," you're right!

I disagree. The "Standup" section of the article clearly states Timmy's valuable role on the Obama team.

Yup. Sacrificial lamb. Come to think of it, the guy always looked like "shark meat" to me. Unfortunately for the puppet masters though, the public is onto their game and it won't do jack to "calm" them. They are slowly but surely realizing that the Fed is the real criminal behind this mess.

Jamie Dimon for the Treasury??? Who comes up with this stuff? According to whom, he is a good fit.
What a joke

Now that John Gotti is dead, Jamie is the obvious choice.

Trichet said some countries are in a "relatively favorable position" due to "wise and prudent" past management, while "others are already very close to losing credibility."
Now I wonder which toilet paper currency country he was referring to eh!

Just how much of the price of gold is attributed to the weak dollar and how much is pure speculation? Remember what the speculators did to the price of oil while blaming it on the weak dollar?

When Paulson went to Treasury the question was "what's wrong at Goldman?" and I think he took care of it....now with Dimon it's "what's wrong at JPM?"....we'll see if he has the pull that Paulson had...

Wow those responses from Goldman to the NY Times are just too much... my favorite quote is this:
"Even ignoring the collateral, it would have required multiple failures of large financial institutions for Goldman Sachs to have lost material amounts of money through lack of performance of our credit protection."
LOL I can imagine him and his colleagues laughing their asses off as he typed this.

G'day ZH - Good write up in the weekend edition of Australian Financial Review on financial bloggers; has ZH listed as one of the most prominent and controversial sites and credited you with exposing the HFT fiasco. No hatchet job by the AFR, if anything was supportive of the work done by financial bloggers. Many Aussies enjoy your posts; we hardly get in-depth analysis here, just a constant re-run of greenshoot stories and the marvels of China. Beers & Cheers…
