The problem is that the guy who controls Oil doesn't get along with the guy who controls the Dollar. One is not supposed to be senior to the other, but the Dollar Desk has traditionally been viewed as more prestigious and Dollar is usually a little older than Oil, although moving from one desk to the other is technically a lateral transfer. Oil is a little younger and more aggressive than Dollar, and he thinks he's the big dog. Dollar is an old money East Coast establishment gentleman who is pretty sure the Dollar Desk is the culmination of all of civilization's progress, and Oil's money is too young and too much of it. To which Oil replies that there is no such thing. They go at it a bit. The big guy hasn't intervened yet, but he will if it looks like those two are going to start hurting the rest of the Enterprise. So far their spat has driven up profits for everyone else, across the board. Things will calm down after the election because Oil is going to move over to control the White House and Dollar is keeping his portfolio.
