only goldman could get away with this, considering lloyd blankfein invented sliced bread and penicillin.

That reminds me of when I started a retail rep job just out of college with a regional refining company. They gave all of us "trainees" a little pamphlet about the service station business and being a member of the community (back when there was such a thing). On the cover were the images of a judge, astronaut, policeman, fireman, physician and ....service station attendant. I have never forgotten that spin. We had to wear little clip on ties, too.

@ 10:55 was right.
penicillin was invented whenever goldman says it was invented as they were responsible. i'm pretty sure they would say the idea of money (especially fiat currency) was their idea as well, which is why they should have it all.
I believe their general rule is, if the client made money, they did not front run enough trades. Fucking Ass Clowns.

At first, I was excited. I thought iShares must be securities with music and video capabilities. I immediately thought that someone must have beat me to the punch on my idea for structured products linked to the performance of ‘80s music videos. Much to my disappointment, upon visiting their website, all I found was a picture of a smiling Brit “banker” – and info on some bullshit ETFs. Boring. And not even a single mention of Steve Jobs.

Bess, if I muster the financing for an LBO of DealBreaker, will you just write all of the content? You're Harold Melvin, and the rest of them are just Blue Notes.
