Goldman Pillages, Goldman Steals, Goldman Sachs
-08/19/09 at 11:07 AM
CDTby Judd Bagley
Consider below a simple timeline from one of the
strangest periods our financial markets had ever experienced. As
you read it, keep in mind that following the demise of Bear

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
accomplishments. So how have things changed? Before I joined the
Division in March, the Dow was struggling around 6500

Goldman Sachs Predicts the Future -08/07/09 at 12:18 PM CDTby Perry Rod
Conspiracy theorists will love this.
Yesterday, Jan Hatzius, the chief U.S. economist at Goldman Sachs
(GS) revised his forecast of job losses from 300,000 to 250,000.
The prediction was very accurate. Today, we learned that the
number turned out to be 247,000. Is it golden analysis or does
Goldman somehow own the government, as many have rec...

No Such Thing As Bad Press For Goldman Sachs
-07/03/09 at 3:42 PM
CDTby Perry Rod
Matt Taibbi has written a scathing piece in
Rolling Stone magazine about how Goldman Sachs (GS) is the "Great
American Bubble Machine." He basically makes yet another case
that Goldman Sachs makes money by controlling America's politicians
and regulators. He is not the first to make this case. For
example in 2006, Kyle Pope, a former writer a...

Barack Obama: Another Captured Pawn of Goldman Sachs' Wall
Street -04/27/09 at
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
of economic experts were basically a team of former Goldman Sachs
executives. That list included Henry Paulson, who ra...

-11/21/08 at 7:22 PM
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
getting back to normal. A bulletin hit the wire saying that
Dallas Maverick owner Mark Cuban was being charged by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission with insider
trading. Even the stock market went up for a good twenty
minutes after the wire hit. But it soon hit me right back - ...

Citigroup Cuts 20% of Workforce -11/17/08 at 10:37 AM CSTby Peter York
50,000 people is a lot of people. That's

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...
