why would you blame goldman sachs for this stuff? if you were in this position, you would also lobby the government in the same way. you should be angry at the government for caving.
this is also completely unrelated to the topic, that they've only had one down trading day in the last quarter. this most recent quarter had nothing to do with government handouts.
- pbz 17y agoProblem is they had us by the balls while they were asking "nicely" for money...
- anamax 17y agoDid they? Or, did they "own" the treasury department and various elected officials?
- codexon 17y agowhy would you blame goldman sachs for this stuff? Because its as though I bet someone $999 trillion that there would not be an earthquake in California tomorrow. Anyone obviously does not have $999 trillion. But instead of eating the losses like any normal business would have to do, they instead tell their friends in the Fed print the money for AIG which AIG then used to pay 100% of their betting losses to Goldman.
- anamax 17y ago> why would you blame goldman sachs for this stuff? I don't blame Goldman. I explained why Goldman is getting villified. > if you were in this position, you would also lobby the government in the same way. Speak for yourself. I don't go to the govt to fix my problems. > this is also completely unrelated to the topic, My post was a response to the comment that Goldman was being unfairly villified. Said villification has nothing to do with their trading success, so if you think that villification is off topic, start with upthread. (The person who complained about the villification didn't suggest a connection other than both involved Goldman.)
