  • He's right, there is a lot of pent up demand. People want to see these people pay for their criminal conduct and soon.

    He's also right in his belief the big risk is that things go right. That will mean he and his ilk will be riding a greased rail in a black feather suit.

  • Why didn't GS in its latest earnings report be more aggressive in its loan dept. if there is a lot of pent up demand?

    The best Blankfein could do is keep quiet and only speak when he resigns.

  • Blankfein says: "The big risk is that things go right" with the global economy.

    Blankfein's "big risk" is that his cronies in government won't have the political confidence to bail out his company during the Euro-breakup global bank panic.
