Go to this cartoon which is based on observations by Carl Icahn. It confirms what you said.

In support of your thesis, which I agree with, I submit this classic cartoon which I bookmarked because it was so informational.

The Truth About Goldman and AIG Becomes Clearer

No! It was just a funny coincidence. You are obviously conspiracy theorists. That Geithner will most probably get a job with GS when he leaves government is also a coincidence. Why do you insist on seeing these imaginary linkages?

Are Financial Stocks Preparing for 'The Fall'?

The popups that your computer has viruses, etc. are spyware. If you have anti-spyware then one or more spyware infections have gotten past your security. I have ant-spyware but one got in two weeks ago and I still have not been able to get it removed by my security company. It is sophisticated enough that I need to use a higher level service that I have to pay for. There is also anti-popup softfware. Even if you have it there is the question of how good it is and how sophisticated the popups are.
