Jeff Macke's bizarre attack on fellow CNBC commentator Dennis Kneale is making the rounds. If anyone has the faintest idea what he's talking about, let us know in the comments.

I think Macke is visiting the tequila planet

"No one goes into Wall Street to save the world," Meredith Whitney tells Bloomberg in an interview (video). She's worried doing away with bonuses will force out the best and the brightest.

It seems like what they were best and brightest at was lining their own pockets regardless of how their companies did...bonuses, perks, offices, golden parachutes, jets...where do I stop? Let em leave. I'll take hard working, honest regular folk who care about people and the country over the best and brightest con men we have to offer who care only about their next quarter's bonus parameters. Madoff was the best and brightest for a long time. Maybe Meredith should send him her retiement account to manage vs. the (implied) dumb but honest people who can't handle wall street. Bah!

TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation Acquisition of thinkorswim Call Transcript

Totally agree. One thing tho. The Thinkorswim part has it's own education and classes and webinars, etc. that are free or pretty cheap on their own. THAT education is sweet. The Investools part ....well....let's just say they are being sued for a reason.
