With Big Profit, Goldman Sees Big Payday Ahead

The bank posted the richest quarterly profit in its 140-year history and announced its plans to pay huge bonuses this year. » Full Story on New York Times

"Goldman’s profit was lifted by record quarterly revenue of $6.8 billion in its fixed income, currency and commodities unit, where mortgage and other credit instruments are traded, the bank said in a statement. This business has performed well since the bank has taken on greater levels of risk since the end of last year."

Hmmm... now lets see.. foreclosures still seem to be happening but these guys are making money off of this... something doesn't sound right.. is this some more of that cr@p that happened that got the economy into the mess its in?? How much you want to bet this "good news" doesn't last long?

The "men of the Temple" are at it again and we should be very suspect
of any "numbers" coming from them; they were very successful in fooling us in the past! Caveat empteur! :-((

How does this make you feel Americans? Obama bailed Goldman Sachs out with one of the largest handouts of all and they are now raking in the dough while you and I suffer: jobs, high taxes, forclosures,loss of 401ks etc? Obama is destroying us all and you democrats are helping.

Follow the MONEY! LOOK at all the Goldman Sach's people in the administration and look where the money came from. The money came from the stimulus that was rushed through. They are getting a bye on the rule that a board member cannot be affiliated with an overseeing power of the government. They received a huge bailout check paid in full by AIG through our taxes. And surprise they make huge profit. This windfall came from our tax money. Go check the facts. Where is the treasury secretary from? hmmm.. The political elite are getting rich in this country. The hard working American is paying for it directly in Taxes. Scary stuff!

I too would be showing record profits if, I were allowed to manipulate the markets, and rob the American taxpayer. Well done GS, your true talents are showing. See the story about the stolen computer trading program that the Federal Authorities claims can (did) manipulate the markets.

The terrorists on wall street have nothing to do with us true Americans on main street. Of course all these terrorists on wall street are showing profits they are getting to steal our money. Meanwhile things continue to go downhill on main street. Vote out all the traitors regardless of party. It is us verses the corporate terrorists.

I hope Goldman Sacs crashes and burns.
I hope Citigroup crashes and burns.
I hope BOFA crashes and burns.
I hope government motors crashes and burns.
I hope fiat crashes and burns.

May all these terrorists including the ones in power crash and burn and it will be revenge time on all of them for stealing our money and destroying our country when us true Americans take over. And don't worry corporate jet loving corporate terrorists we'll keep you flying high-you'll be flying high off the ropes we use to hang you when we put you on trial and give you the death penalty.

They used tax payer money to gamble on currency and commodities trading. Then they quickly paid back the money at low interest rates before announcing their huge profit takings.

The white house, congress, Fed and Sec are all screwing the American taxpayers with their stimulus packages, tarp payments, and insider trading.

Goldman Sachs - a company that has its slimy tentacles in more important places than you can possibly imagine. Ever wonder why AIG got bailed out and Lehman didn't? Wonder why no one is protesting Goldman's record bonuses while AIG executives had to endure ACORN members on their lawn?

Let's see, Crooks embedded in the Treasury Dept&SEC! Raid on the Treasury by Shifty Paulsen during change of Administrations, continued by Geitner! Dollar Worthless! Won't Build Nuclear plants, Won't Drill for Oil off-shore! Where are the Cheney Hater/Halliburton Nuts? Why aren't they Questioning the GRIP that Goldman Sachs has on the Treasury? Has no one noticed that GE is in Bed with the Administration also, so as to Benefit from the Global Warming Farce. Which is about to send Middle Americans to the Poor House? If Americans Wake Up and leave Am-Idol behind and Pay Attention to the Dysfunctional Leaders they have chosen, then America has a Chance to survive this movement to the Dark-Side! As far as I'm Concerned Both Parties have Sold America Out! As Usual Americans won't Do Anything till T-1 second! One need only to Open their Eyes to the consistent Lies/Deceit shoveled too us Daily! Keep the same Lifetime Morons in office is a Guarantee to Seal Our Fate!
