I have no opinion on MBIA as a company. But over the last few years the market has been filled with this kind of BS. "Chatter" making a stock move 13%. The casino game is whether you're in the right place to get your chatter out on the street. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Just whether you can get people to trade on it. Frankly, the traders don't care whether it's true either. They're just riding the wave and hoping to get out before the wave begins to fall.
The talk about the Fed printing money. Small fish compared to the equities markets.
