Wikileaks' Julian Assange apparently has information on a major American Bank that is still running. The market seemed to suspect Bank of America today. Premiums on their Credit Default Swaps increased by 25 basis points and their stock dropped by more than 3%. All US banks took a hit today barring Citigroup, but Bank of America was seemingly most affected by the news. Check out the New York Times article (here) and we would love to hear your thoughts on if Wikileaks and Julian Assange are doing the right thing. Check out the poll above.

Is Behavioral Finance a Growth Industry?
In our most recent advanced corporate finance classes (401) we have been discussing Behavioral Finance. I have found it to be some of the most interesting material covered thus far. But then again who wouldn't love watching youtube videos of monkeys instead of listening to a lecture (sorry Prof. Mahar). Anyways here's an article I found that particularly tickled my interests in the field. Enjoy.
