Goldman left investors holding its subprime bag

[meshukorina]

Who builds a castle on sand? I think they were blinded by the $ signs in their eyes and ignored their basic economic knowledge or even common sense.

Did they honestly think that they could maintain their million dollar+ incomes and keep the world turning based on people that can hardly afford to pay their mortgages?

I blame the stupidity of home owners for tryna a buy a house that wld take up almost all their income and also lenders/insurers that wld just give their money away like that.

why doesn't "the real news" mention federal reserve interest rate and fanny freddie which are the biggest government sponsored banks who were involved in subprime practices? and they seem to imply that more government sponsored activities (this time, to regulate) won't lead to similar failures.. when does it occur to "the real news" that the government officials just aren't smart enough to guarantee anything? when they fail, their "approval" stamp becomes the shield for the worst practices?

It must also been clear for the crooks from the beginning, that the people will finally realize the magnitude of fraud they had to suffer as consequence and that some folks would start to fight guerilla style against them.

And that would clearly be "homegrown terrorism"...

Some fat juicy peace of Heimatschutz - Ministerium anyone?

This is criminal, the general public is clueless as to how or how much they are getting hosed by these crooks in Washington and Wall Street for generations.

It is time you folks down there in the USA start tellling your leaders where to stow it!

[lrn2wlk4life]

Headline: Treacherous fraud at core US financial institution. Description: tax haven case *yawn*. First sentence: ... orgy....

TheRealNews sure makes some "dog" videos now and then. Who funds this salacious rag except radical anti-establishment folks? Haha.

Goldman survived because it shorted the bad debt more than anyone else.

Is TRN ripping off a Fox News storyline here where derivative asset failures are caused by Acorn/SEIU legal threats and punitive judgments against bank lending?

Goldman "sruvived" because their CEO was the Treasury Secretory, stupid.
