I work in the securities business, so you might want to re-examine your preconceptions. I was a regulator for 18 years and have been in the industry as a compliance professional for the last 8 years. I have a series 7, 24, and 66. I don’t “hate everyone connected with “WALL STREET” and I am well aware that of the ~3,800 registered brokerage houses in the business, a minority of them are in NYC. My employing firm is run by some of the finest human beings and business people I or anyone else has ever met.
There may be a few low level GS employees that have some morals. They don’t last too long or get into any decision making positions. By the time somebody has made executive level at GS, they have sold whatever soul they ever had to the almighty dollar and f——k anyone or anything that might restrain them from amassing more cash and more power. And that is perhaps the worst thing about GS management — they know that they can do whatever they want and nothing will happen to them. They have absolute power and it has well and truly corrupted them absolutely.
And frankly, I could give a shart how nice or naughty you want to be — if you think there is anything other than pure evil about GS as a company or any of the people in its senior management, you are the one that is sadly mistaken. There is nothing in that boardroom that is concerned with you, me, or anyone else in this nation, outside of the money we might have which they intend to get... one way or another.
ROTFLMSO...you imagine that any of that impresses me? And HELL YES, I know exactly what you're talking about!
You don't know ANYONE of the BIG GUNS you condemn and never shall. Nor, obviously, are you capable of understanding just what an "economic adviser" position entails. And thankfully, you little nothing of a nobody, you don't and never shall have any say in what President Trump does or whom he wants in his administration. All you can do, is rant and rail and post crap to FR and be laughed at. ;^)
And no, don't ask why I know far more about this, because I don't usually discuss my REAL life on open threads; so just sit there and stew . LOL
