Today it's the blame game on Capitol Hill today - Oil Executives grilled on the massive oil spill. And Regulators are sifting through 'voluminous' records but haven't yet found evidence of a so-called fat-finger error that may be behind Thursday's plunge in which the Dow sank more than 700 points in just 15 minutes. Gold is at a 5 month high today at $1281.44 per ounce and Crude Oil is near unchanged today at $77 per barrel.
