Apparently cows in structured credit and proprietary trading have been among those taken to the kosher slaughterhouse this morning.

    @15/18, truth hurts? Are you upset that GS is no longer “special”. ITS OVER, deal with it. No more fat bonuses, bottle service etc. You are just regular average ordinary, etc. Have a good time trying to pay off everything you overpaid for with tons of bank debt of course. Im expecting a spike in apt listings this weekend, should be great. Jerkoffs

    Will GS employees get bonuses or not? seems unfair that we bail them out with our tax money and they turn around and pay themselves even though they almost screwed up the market forever. Seems like a conflict of interest as well Bald is ex-head of Goldman and he gives them tax payer money. He was the one who helped put us in this mess. Thoughts?

  63. Posted by guest | November 5, 2008 at 3:02 PM

I am making money hand over fist in two ways: One, booze is recession poroof, and 2 i have been daytading my own account and have been short the market for quite a while. So that explains how i wil be banging GS tools ladies this weekend. With cash in hand, now piss off

    i’m so happy now, i don’t even care to rub it in. i just hope you mccain supporters aren’t as bitter as we’ve been for the past 8 years. it’s not a good way to live.

  81. Posted by guest | November 5, 2008 at 3:51 PM

    A McCain supporter that is bitter? Talk about a serious state of denial. This election was over when Hillary tossed in the douche mop. McCain never had a chance, which is why he had to go to Alaska to find a running mate.
    One other thing about which TGFD is totally clueless.

    Thanks for the greeting. TGFD is not bitter. The election is over, and we have a new president-elect obama. I wasn’t happy when Clinton was elected, but I got over it within 24 hrs. I think I’m already over this one. The American people have spoken. We’ll see how obama does.

    84 Not true re McCain not having a chance. He’s a good, tough and honest guy. But his choice of Palin and subsequent pandering to the far right base of the R party led me – generally a centrist – right into Obama’s arms. I hear the same from a lot of my friends.

  86. Posted by guest | November 5, 2008 at 4:07 PM

    As a current model and girlfriend to a now unemployed Goldman banker, let me just say that I’m sticking with my man. Our relationship was never about the money, good breeding, or bangin’ Hannukah presents. His talent and humility are the ultimate turn-on.

    I sold out my SDS position yesterday at a loss, and look what happened today. I wanted to buy back in on a dip today, but I had no courage. A few small dips today, but I just watched SDS go up after each dip. TGFD feels like a clown.

    you people are true clowns- these ex sachs got ass raped 2x over. see, thing is most hear about the (once) massive bonus pool at silverboyslacks and immediately assume each and every ass clown there is kiling it on the come up when bonuses arrive….
    what they DONT know is that the avg silverboyslacks banker gets fucked on his comp. why??? see- silverboy mngmt. knows/knew that the brand was worth more than the cash in hand and as such discounted accordingly- they knew most of these ivy league turds would rather get paid below street avg. (with the excpetion of 5% top -who thus maintained the ‘street’ avg) just to retain the claim of silverboys logo on thier duffle bags and swipe cards. Idiots. Its wallstreet, yo are here for the cash and nothing NOTHING else- the nimwits still left clinging to this shit show of a ‘commercial bank’ deserve what they are getting and about to get. See, had they really been THAT smart, they would already be well esconsced at a small thriving hedgie or capital laden pe shop or even better yet holed up with some young 2008 version of R Perelman- sitting on cash and ready to bang the living hell out some mismanaged over-levered pinata of a company. But noooooooooo here they sit- squatting out at DB, bitching and whining about their sad sack of a once and past bukge bracket bank: silverboyslacks.

    GSCO Prime Brokerage in NYC was hit hard yesterday. Very few members of the group remain. MDs, VPs, etc were let go even one who was on maternity leave was told via phone. Severance = 3 wks for every year of svc with a % of year end bonus. Those remaining were told that bonus comp willl be greatly reduced at year end. More cuts expected today accross the board from what I hear.

And don’t dare get sick or your job will be listed on the company website while your’re out getting cancer treatments. nice. they care nothing for anyone. And the foreclosure crisis?
