That statement alone proves to me that you are full of sh*t and are just spewing rhetoric. But I will make sure to quote this and email it to some colleagues who have actually had or have real business dealings with GS.

The label of "capitalism" came from the merchants of 14th & 15th century Europe (I may be off by a century here & there). The basic concept is using capital to consolidate resources and then have the masses become wage laborers, all the in goal of perpetually growing profits. I point out this...

He hates them. Now the more interesting question is what is your deal about GS. Is your boyfriend an employee there?

Once again, re-read the post. Or is it that hard? I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and thought I mis-stated, but I did not. P.S. So you do sit there and Refresh second by second. Nice trolling, LOL!

Are you really going to claim that GS, MS, JPM and other bulge brackets do not contract out consultants. Wow. Wait, are you even in NYC? Have you ever worked here? I know you are not and have not, as you confirmed in much older posts. But you claim so much knowledge, so what bulge bracket...

So is your lack of reading comprehension a sign that you're part of the 95%? Or you have not even gotten a chance to try due to your learning disability?

Try reading comprehension but thanks for pinpointing the exact number that is appropriated to Goldman Sachs alone. Would like to add anything else? You might want to stop arguing about Goldman losses, as the CDS payout for a particular CDO are several times more than the actual equity...

It obviously relates to Investment Banking, where 90% or so of the employees last 2-3 years, after which they either try to go to PE, VC or grad school. And that is Investment Banking in general, not just Goldman.

Take your own advice. You specifically mentioned GS's credit lines and reserve ratio. Reserve ratio applies to banks and money centers, with a specific focus on the Federal Reserve system. I gave you a retort that addressed that and noted that when a pure investment bank is taken through such...

Actions speak louder than words and the actions on behalf of Hank Paulson toward Goldman Sachs & Morgan Stanley speak volumes. BTW, I actually think GS is a buy, that lawsuit won't go far and such conflicts of interests are regular business on Wall Street.

GS was rushed through to become a money center in the midst of the TARP being enacted, so what exactly are you talking about when mentioning credit lines & reserve ratios. GS did not have these requirements as it was a pure investment bank but was rushed through the process and converted to a...

Not true. Capitalism was never a paper idea or theory. It was and is, a real life implementation.

You never actually gave any evidence or facts, just biased rhetoric & opinion.

Capitalism is not a theory or an idea. It is an actual practice & methodology that started back in 14th-15th centuries by merchants of Europe. Maybe you cannot classify it as bad, but it certainly is not good as it has no care for anyone except the capitalist & his profits.

LOL What? That's just silly. But the store itself is ok and has room for expansion. I like their morning oatmeal.

Really? Nobody knew or had an idea that it was obvious worthless crap? You're really naive.

It's not illegal because these are unregulated financial instruments. However, there was a blatant conflict of interest and this is nothing new to Goldman. SEC's actions will results in nothing more than slap on the wrist fines, similar to the fines enacted on several IBs after the Tech...

Oh wow they paid out the AIG CDSes and loan guarantees (all taxpayer money)? News to me.

This is a great article but I have two questions. Anyone who can answer or offer wise thoughts, I would appreciate. I want to get some viewpoints on this, aside from my own theories. How is the equity tranchee getting paid 20% returns? I've heard of subprime mortgages at 15-18% in those...

WTF are you talking about?
