Thanks again FDR
ReplyDeleteI remember the day Goldman Sachs were going to collapse last year, and I bought puts on them (and cheered their death as the most evil of american companies), and the corrupt government suddenly bailed out everything in site with the first round of TARP directly on cue.
ReplyDeleteLiterally hours before GS was wiped off the planet by the stock market...the first trillion in bailouts showed up out of nowhere.
There has to be a lot more to the GS story.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to dig deeper if they don't value their life.
