This one is a blind item. I am just using a pic from ICHC bc I don’t know whom to mock!
Lolo pointed this out: The Senator from Nevada, last night: “We don’t have a lot of leeway on time. One of the individuals in the caucus today talked about a major insurance company — a major insurance company — one with a name that everyone knows that’s on the verge of going bankrupt. That’s what this is all about.”
Swaps are out of control for MetLife, Prudential, and Hartford this morning. PRU’s stock looks the least bad of the three… Hartford, if you’re reading this blog you probably know it but maybe not “everyone.” So is it MET, and Snoopy is gonna be auctioning off the blimp?
Place your bets here. First person to post a name that actually goes into conservatorship or fully bk or something, I’ll arrange a prize for you.
