Snark…you have to separate the good companies from the ones that are truly in trouble instead of throwing the whole lot of them in the same boat.
I’m not going to continue to debate the idealogical points here. Suffice it to say that the mess can’t be cleaned up without the firms that are in sa strong enoughposition to do so…like Goldman, for one.
I know everyone continues to want more scapegoats and anyone that makes a lot of money should be jailed but to continue with this “socialist agenda” of “all banks are bad” is just totally unproductive at this point.
There are clear indications now as to who is going to come out a winner and who will likely not survive. There are also still some grey areas.
Thanks, Dave. You’re really the only hedge fund guy I have access to, so I like to pick your brain on such matters.

The system would have collapsed, or Goldman would have collapsed?
The more they cry wolf about systemic failure, the less I believe it.
Randolf,
Not to be rude but we’re all hip to your little baiting game. If you don’t like it leave. Or, try to contribute something useful to another thread. Most of us do.
Just a thought.
Typical, randolph. And getting a bit tedious. Are you male or female today????
how’s this DIBS- you all are pathetic losers.
does that work?
Ummmm sorry, Snark but if those trades weren’t paid for the whole system would hhave collapsed. Goldman and the others were just on the other side of thos CDO trades, that’s all. There was nothing fishy going on there.
randolph…please feel to upgrade the OT with some of your intelligent input that we’ve all come to expect. Otherwise, STFU.
THL, I thought the red lipstick was too much. She’s a natural beauty and doesn’t really need makeup. Very true that Steph and Heidi are boring without Spencer et al. Did you see in the previews for upcoming episodes that she is going to marry that tool for real? Argh. One would have thought that she’d wake up by now, particularly after speaking to the trampy bartender. It was funny how Spencer went running back to Brody. I think those two finally realized that they have no friends or social life outside of each other. Talk about unhealthy!
> “Additionally, this is why they want to pay their TARP money back now!!!”
They can pay it back with all that other taxpayer money they’ve gotten via the AIG bailout.
