Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation

[BOoBOo]

Great article on how Goldman Sachs (huge bank) played a role in market manipulation since the great depression. I highly recommend that you guys read the full article and see how big institutions don't give a crap about regular folks.

The Great American Bubble Machine : Rolling Stone

Goldman positions itself in the middle of a speculative bubble, selling investments they know are crap. Then they hoover up vast sums from the middle and lower floors of society with the aid of a crippled and corrupt state that allows it to rewrite the rules in exchange for the relative pennies the bank throws at political patronage. Finally, when it all goes bust, leaving millions of ordinary citizens broke and starving, they begin the entire process over again, riding in to rescue us all by lending us back our own money at interest, selling themselves as men above greed, just a bunch of really smart guys keeping the wheels greased.

Hmm. How ever they did it, they did make money. There are always people/things/organisations like GS which will rake in money any which ways possible. They say - Survival of the fittest!
Ofcourse, these are my thoughts.
