They were packaging a bond for sale. These were done daily and you have to inspect what is within the the bond if you are buying it. Your study of the market agrees with this as accepted or out of the ordinary? When you consider buying a mutual fund you investigate the holdings of the fund and the direction of the fund before you buy into it right? The people who were purchasing these bonds did their research or did they just get the insurance on top of the bond? Did they accept the FALSE rating of the bond and not do their homework? GS then makes a financial bet on the bond betting on it's failure. Did they set the bond for failure, or did they see the recklessness of the buyer and knew they shouldn't be in the business so they bet against success of that investment. This is America and we allow the little man to make it big time when he takes risks. Are you going to stop people from getting rich in the modern world when they see opportunity screaming at them in the face. I personally know a couple here in town who got millions of $$$ when they classified the father incompetent. They sold off just about everything but a few horses, Tennessee walking horses for breeding. They put him in the VA center and wasted all of that money trying to get filthy rich. So the douche bags at GS see a loser in front of them buying a bond and they say "Let's get a derivative on this one because it has to fail". The business of banking is risk / reward. There are no guarantees that you will make X% unless you find a ponzi scheme and you get in real early. hehehehe yeah no guarantees. Personally we need to identify the fraud in the bond credit rating aspect. This is way to close to buyers of the service that the results were questionable and now we know it was more out right lies. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
