Fed Chair History

• Daytraders out there need to check out the action in EAT. The market maker for that stock is making some serious coin.

• The BreakUp system really missed out on the ACV trade. Just one more day would have been really nice. The ACV trade was closed at the open today and then proceeded to surge 5% beyond that opening price.

• Need a little help from my readers. I'm doing some research on the history of Federal Reserve Chairmen. Anyone know the starting month for Benjamin Strong's tenure as Fed Chair?
  

• Also, what's the deal with Ronald Ransom? I believe he died while Fed Chair and then McCabe was appointed. But, don't know the actual tenure timeline or starting month. Review the list below and let me know of any errors.

Benjamin Strong (starting month: ?; served: 1914 - 1928)
