  • Would it be fair to describe this show as the propaganda arm of Wall St.?

  • Goldman Sachs survived by cheating its customers. They knowingly sold super risky engineered bonds falsely rated as of the lowest risk to clients wanting low risk. They got the low risk rating by deliberately deceiving the raters.

    For reference, Google: Moyers Black Wall St. Read the whole article.

    Also, "The End, Portfolio Magazine, Dec 08-Jan 09 issue.

  • What reason other than tax evasion could there be for Goldman Sachs Group to set up three subsidiaries in Bermuda, 5 in Mauritius & 15 in Cayman Islands? Why did Countrywide Financial need 2 subsidiaries in Guernsey? Why did Wachovia need 18 subs in Bermuda, 3 in the British Virgin Islands, and 16 in the Caymans? Why did Lehman Brothers need 31 subs in the Caymans? What do Bank of America's 59 subs in the Caymans actually do? And AIG, why does it have 18 subsidiaries in tax-haven countries?

  • Your Citi Never Sleeps commercial doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense.

  • Robbed by the shareholders? Who's really taking the risk?

    Bankers typically get burned out after a couple years anyways. The ones that stay are coked-out with no families and a shitload of cash to spend on hookers. What a life. Maybe they get your name on a building at Yale, but no one really likes you anyways.

    As was stated below the serious money is in creating a company that the bankers sell for you.

  • Definitely not as good! Damn mortgage backed securities!!

  • I wonder what the bonuses will look like this year.

  • Are we really losing our best tech guys to banking??? As much as bankers make, who makes more: the banker advising on a tech IPO or the guy taking his tech company public???

  • The guy has a point. America is falling behind in technology/science because its best and brightest are going into investment banking to make money. That is a FACT.

    Do the bankers deserve their huge bonuses? Probably. But instead of just blindly yelling "FREE MARKET", you idiots should look at a systematic problem that is hurting US competitiveness.
