Program trading has nothing to do with insider trading. Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?
I do understand the difference between using a black box program and using inside info and direct government influence to structure profiteering schemes at the expense of regular investors. I also understand the fleecing of investors which takes place at almost every brokerage as a matter of course. Goldman just happens to be the most well connected, with Morgan not far behind, of the investment firms. There’s plenty of info on this subject.
Who do you think Geithner works for? We the people? Don’t make me laugh.
Same with Paulson, Kashkari, Robert Rubin, and the list goes on for quite a while.
