Today on Planet Money:

We get a little closer to the credit default swap mess, and a lot closer to a certain billionaire. Plus: The Federal Reserve takes another amazing step.

-- Money trader John Chirico sees light at the end of the tunnel.

-- Listener Eli Naduris-Weissman wants to know the deal with using auctions to settle claims on credit default swaps. (And don't we all.)

-- Economist Hampton Finer of the New York State Insurance Department fields Mosier's question.

-- Mark Cuban, the Mark Cuban, tells Adam Davidson and Mike Pesca about his new investigative site, BailoutSleuth.com. (Interview includes question Adam calls his most embarrassing ever.)
