Conversation: AIG was stopped from failing because so many government employees have insurance annuities at AIG, AIG owed 10s of Billions to Goldman Sachs (Hank Paulson and Tim Geithner's former employe) and secondarily to create a pretext for Federal control and regulation of insurance, which is and always has been done State by State

Comment: Bob is talking down ETF's... Bob "doesn't want to talk about" how mutual load funds can only be bought at NAV at end of the day, and how that can and is being manipulated.

I'm positive I learned about SPDRs from Bob. This is really bizarre - I guess his opinion depends on who he likes this week.

Topic: Bob's back on the natural gas thing - his guest suggests that "all gas stations already have natural gas available" and that it would be simple to make it available.

First, it's not true that all gas stations would have natural gas for heating... and the pipelines going down the street into each building are nowhere near the capacity to handle the amount of natural gas it would take to power a refueling station...

Simple solutions aren't.
