In a speech for the New York State Bar,
Securities and Exchange Commission Enforcement Director Robert
Khuzami made a joke that for some might be more telling that it is
funny. He stated: "I'm pretty proud of my own 100-day

Conspiracy theorists will love this.
Yesterday, Jan Hatzius, the chief U.S. economist at Goldman Sachs

number turned out to be 247,000. Is it golden analysis or does
Goldman somehow own the government, as many have rec...

CDTby Perry Rod

American Bubble Machine." He basically makes yet another case

and regulators. He is not the first to make this case. For
example in 2006, Kyle Pope, a former writer a...

6:05 PM CDTby Perry Rod
It isn’t really a conspiracy or a
criticism. It’s just a fact. In 2006, The Los Angeles
Times did a story entitled, “Goldman Sachs Rules The
World,” pointing out that former President Bush’s team

executives. That list included Henry Paulson, who ra...

CSTby Reggie Abaca
America's financial system is a mess and the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is to blame. Short sellers,
in a concerted effort to defend themselves and abuse the lack of
regulation by the SEC, are now targeting Citigroup (C) while our

For a moment yesterday it felt like things were

cost cutting continues. The danger of all of it is that this
is happening in the crucial holiday period, one week before
Thanksgiving. And it's on top of 5% to 10% cuts byJ...
