Disclaimer at the bottom of the first page:
"The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should be aware that the firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report."
I'd love to see what this report had to say the week ending 5/16/08.
