RE:RE:Good old Goldman Sachs?Yes. They are crooks. All of them.
The get to load the dice, lean the table, count the cards, load the deck, mark the cards, deal the cards....look at your hand.... bet for you or against you as they see fit and then turn out the lights or turn on a strong fan to blow smoke and $hit around to make things just right if they happen to require that too.
It is a shame that you not only need to have good instincts about fundamentals and the merits of a business.
But you also need to realize that half the analysts are trying to take your money out of your pocket and the other half are trying to steal it from the felt on the table while you are playing.
But it makes the finance machine go round and round.
If you can attach yourself to their pattern of bad behaviour it can still work out.
Or if you have the stomach and conviction to give them the middle finger when your gut tells you they are just jerking around the market. If they dump the blood in the streets and it is fake blood... buy anyway.
