Late Night Conspiracy

Coincidence? I think not.

Blankfein is not on the board of any other public company. He is, however, a trustee of the New York Historical Society and an overseer of the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Blankfein is also director of the Partnership for New York City and of The Robin Hood Foundation. He is also said to be a Yankees fan.

Think about it. Think.about.it.

    The Goldman Sachs Group Inc May be benefiting the most from the Fed’s zero rate policy – WSJ
    – According to a filing, in Q3 Goldman’s interest rate on its long-term borrowings was 0.92% v 3.53% y/y.
    – Goldman’s $203B in long-term borrowings is its largest funding source.
    – As Goldman’s long-term borrowing costs decline, it help’s the firm’s profitability.
    – JP Morgan’s long-term borrowing costs are about 2.09% and about 3.2% for Morgan Stanley

    Fly,
    Huge fan. Great picks, and you have balls!

    Re Blankfein: A notable contemporary at Harvard University was Ben Bernanke (A.B. 1975, also Winthrop House), Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

    They graduated Harvard same year, same dorm.

    The Fly is the next CEO of GS!

    Goldman is the Yankess (winners all) and the Mets is Citi (losers all).

      That second piece is worth reading for the comment section alone.

    I removed the positions from my main page because I was losing so much money I did not want the world to see my perma-bearness. I tried to cover it up by saying the main page was loading slow, but a couple of users reminded me i could just post a link to those positions. I do not think I will do that though.

      LOL.

      Now that he’s sunk to Soviet-era tactics and barred me from commenting under this name (I will comment under no other, fwiw), despite my long term support of his Moonie comment section, I am in full approval of this comedic exposure.

      Now that the Attilla/Sol Lemming squad are taking their carnival show private (at $350/mo! LOFL!), Timmah is the last publicly posting bear train wreck left.

      Get your popcorn ready.

        Tim’s contingent is getting shred like nothing I’ve every seen, there are more new blogs forming as we speak with “prized” posters jumping back and forth between them like NBA free agents. I’m telling you some of them are going to catch the blogging version of gonorrhea. Poor Tim appears to be barely reading these guest contributions before posting them as they get increasingly sophomoric with time. He really can’t afford to many more submissions that start with “I’ve been reviewing my past trades to see where I went wrong”. It’s bad enough I have to live with my own mistakes but reading about other people is positively depressing.

        The Attilla/Sol thing would be funny if it weren’t so sad. That will not end well…….

          $350 a month! For a guy who’s been publicly losing his ass for eight months!

          The Power of the Lemming is mind bogglingly strong.

            Busy picking nickles off the floor but every 6 months he leaves his wallet on the bar and it gets stolen. Then the magic fairies drop down and replenish his trading account so he can take another run. Each time he trades with even larger e-mini positions so he can claim millions in returns before a trend resumes and his inability to manage risk is placed on full display. I don’t know which excuse is more pathetic, his fears that somebody is front-running his public trading log or Tim claiming javascript performance is why he removed all record of his positions. Can’t you see all the pit traders hitting refresh on the XTrends page to see if Sol has a trade on………

          can you expand a little. All I know about these two chuckleheads is that Atilla the Hun made it big in 08, lost it all in the rally of 09 and now according Timish either Hun or Sol has made billions, but they’re taking the site “private”. A few of Timish’s lemmings have questioned whether they’ve made any money at all and that they’re just bullshitting. Timmish of course didn’t take too kindly to that.

            j – you still holding BAC or did you lighten up a bit? I’m not liking the volatility in my preferreds. I thought we were past that part of the crisis.

            Yep, I am, I haven’t touched this one and won’t for a few years.

            I think it took a hit as it needs to probably sell stock to get out of the TARP. However from what I’m reading the most they’ll need to sell is around $9 billion which isn’t hugely dilutive and quite accretive compared to the government’s money that costs 5%. I’m not too worried and think it will do okish.

        BTW, to answer your question yesterday…. NO, not one of the lots has sold yet, and the developer has now put up for sale the adjacent 55 acres that was to be the future annex of the development. and these are 800,000.00 to over 1 million dollar places, 5 empty houses and 100 unsold lots….going on 1 year 7 months of being idle.

        Maybe somebody should start up a twitter called LoserTwits and all the losers can post.
        Then we would know what not to do in life.

    Watching the GS Yankees win is grotesque …they can barely get up enough enthusiasm to do a dogpile. A couple of high fives for Jeter and Posada and back to clubhouse.
    I did like a couple of classic shots of 6 and 7 year old kids sitting in $5,000 seats…the future little Donald Trumps…..thinking to myself I HEART NY

      KC – They are too old, worn out, used up and broken down to celebrate any harder. Come on, give the old guys a break.
