Rod
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

regulation by the SEC, are now targeting Citigroup (C) while our

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
50,000 on top of 20,000 layoffs. Citigroup (C) has cut off
approximately 30% of its workforce now amid the economic crisis as
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...
