Tim Geithner’s Speech and Plan - David Kotok - Markets do not initially like Geithner’s comments.   There are good reasons.    He gave only sketchy details that would help clarify the program.  His speech was purposefully vague.   Markets and the country want clarity, transparency and reliability.   Instead. they got promises it would be forthcoming but they did not get facts and details that would substantiate it. - Cumberland Advisors
