Corrected version: “In its self-styled war against Main Street, Goldman Sachs appears to have a powerful employee: President Obama.”

[throwback]

Quite the con. Obama says mean and nasty things about evil Wall street while bailing them out and socializing their risks even further with this new regulation. Zero and Warren must just laugh their heads off while they light up their next cigar and think of us morons out here buying all this crap.

One of their junior executives was dating Chelsea Clinton a couple of years ago ..... how far "inside" do these guys need to be?

As it is, someone in the market commentariat has noted that Goldman enjoys, through its alumni in government and regulatory bodies, access to "nearly perfect realtime information".

That means their investment decisions, unlike those your broker or financial advisor recommends, are not so much "investments" as a series of sure things.

Other people save and invest. "They make money the old-fashioned way -- they earn it!" </John Houseman ad> Goldman, on the other hand ......harvests.
