Is GS Tempting The Interest Rate Black Swan With 1,056% Risk Exposure?

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:52:00 GMT

The lower prices at the pump, in heating oil, and for transportation companies like airlines definitely benefits the consumer, even as it might not feel that way.

Interactive Brokers Group?s (IBKR) second quarter diluted earnings of $0.44 per share (down 33.3% sequentially, but up 57.1% compared to the prior-year quarter) were six cents short of our estimate.
