  • Why does Goldman Sachs have our $$ and why aren't we taking the streets yet? [View instapost]
    Don't forget GS also bought swaps against AIG defaulting, whereas thousands of other counterparts to AIG did not. AIG defaulting would have had NO impact on GS bottom line, but huge impact on the financial system - i.e. Lehman.

  • The Fourth Branch of the U.S. Government: Goldman Sachs? [View article]
    "Be forewarned, you will be infuriated by what Taibbi reveals." -
    Believe it or not, I'm more infuriated by this irresponsibly written article. I have another conspiracy theory - writers of this sort of articles are out to create waves, make a name for themselves, and justify their worth. Kind of like little kids cheering on a natural disaster so they don't need to go to schools.

  • Goldman Sachs Still One of the Strongest in Its Industry [View article]
    Overwhelming percentage of bloggers hate GS and believe in some sort of conspiracy theory. That's why the technicals of this stock is SO strong. Outsiders are shorting, best research analysts and "insider" investors are buying .....hmm.......

  • Goldman Owes Taxpayers More than Just TARP [View article]
    Interesting, all the legendary business leaders (Buffet, Welch, Gates competitors, etc) seem to love GS, yet many of the writers in second tier media and bloggers seem to despise GS. Hmm..... I guess they must have insights that no insiders or analysts do. BTW, if you really think Mike Morgan is an alruistic, non-publicity seeking, public serving fighter, think again. He seems to be having great fun.

  • Goldman Sachs Is Toast [View article]
    I love articles like these, written by unprofessional "pop" analysts who are complete outsiders to this insider business. THEY CREATES MASSIVE TRADING OPPORTUNITIES!
    Yes, Goldman lucked out on this one. Do you know how puny is 6bil among the trillion of dollars of AIG counterparty payables - including all the policy holders? You cannot selectively default.

  • Goldman Sachs Should Hit It Big in 2009 [View article]
    I trade and am not long on words.

    It's fun to see all these heated arguments and name-callings. I'm sure you all have unbelievable insights and know more about GS than others. A simple test is - would you go long or short GS at today's close:84, if you need hold the position for a year? Your own money of course.

    My experience is, the more emotionally I get involved in a name for reasons other than pure fundamental outlook, the worse decision I will make.

  • Goldman Says "Trust Us" [View article]
    "Applying to the New York Stock Exchange for removal from the protected species list."
    - why give away a free protection? that would be stupid.

    "Somehow I get the feeling that Goldman is in really bad trouble, worse than Morgan Stanley."
    - don't forget it's 10% perpetual lending! if GS goes down, Buffet loses 5B! i guess you must know something Buffet doesn't? please be my guest to short GS in a big way, follow your own advice.
