Yesterday Lloyd Blankfein finally came clean to us re: who he works for. And I bet a lot of you probably then made what you thought was the logical conclusion that LB and his people were set for life, what with the Big Guy on their side, and could sit back and take it easy. The BG’s got this money making thing covered, right? Wrong! Turn’s out God’s something of a slave driver and you want to know another thing? No matter how many clients his little worker-bees front run? It’s never enough.
“The market is still difficult and turbulent,” Blankfein said at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch banking and financial services conference. “We are not lounging around in our sunglasses basking in our certain future,” he said. “We stay very close to our clients.”
Translation: We stay in front and on top of our clients trades.
@1 thanks for the translation. no one would’ve gotten it (except for the people who read what BL wrote about GS frontrunning their clients.)
all work and no play makes LB a very unhappy boy.

We don’t just served them, we service the heck out of them.

Were still busy front-running our clients
All the best,

@5/5 I told you that’d catch on.

You Got Served – now that was a fine piece of cinema
“you ask me if I have a god complex..let me tell you something I AM GOD”
@10 not even in the same ballpark as Stomp The Yard.
The Jews worship money.. So yes, Goldman is doing God’s work.
these guys make me so sick.

@13 “the jews”
why don’t you crawl back into whatever trailer trash hole you came out of?
@15 simmer down….Everybody knows Goldman is the first real temple the Jews have had since Roman times
I kid
@15=racist
@15 = racist who ignores people like me.
-Non-trailer trash anti-semite
@ 15 = self-loathing
When Noah’s ark was being built, Goldman Sachs guys must have been selling the crap out of end-of-the-world flood options before they got on the boat. They are close to God apparently.
Andre Agassi was no Jew.
If they were doing God’s work does that mean that their efforts to stick SemGroup for more cash than necessary was the intent of God? Man, I thought Tulsa was the Buckle of the Bible Belt but it looks like it’s 85 Broad Street.

@23 ….to bankrupt humanity and channel it to G-d.
Oh I hate myself, but not because I’m jewish

I got long Goldman @ $57.

@22, nice, i know the SEM guys, they are just as scummy as the J aron crew
Does this mean that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are really War, Death, Famine and Structured Origination?
@27 = not funny, gay guy
LOL,
This isn’t about Lloyd or Goldman or God. It’s about Gasbagarino trying to stir the pot to advance his dipshit book. Sorkin is kicking his ass despite CNBC doing everything humanly possible to promote the work of their on air dope. Kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. When the tool fool isn’t cutting someone off and acting like a total ranting idiot, he is spreading little more than gossip about a subject (finance) of which he has little to no knowledge. Gasbag has even resorted to having his wife and his attorney post reviews on Amazon to get his customer review ratings up. Now if Sorkin did that, Charlie would consider it “breaking news” and be all over the tube with his infamous “I brok dat; I brod dat; I brok dat first”.
This book is written by an idiot and a big mouth and is in the process of crashing and burning. It is a joke. In order to distract us and to, at the same time promote the book, the town idiot is attacking Lloyd. Amen.

crazy double poster@30/31- what the fuck are you talking about? do you see cg mentioned in this story?
no one cares about your shitty book either andrew ross.
I’m not suggesting anything here but I think you can draw your own conclusions when hearing that several premier “gentlemen’s clubs” in Houston and Manhattan got swine flu vaccine for “key entertainers” before some schools and hospitals. Just sayin’…..
@16
At least you got your history right, that’s gotta count for something
@30 is that you lurkin Sorkin?
@13 Jews worship money? And you are of what denomination? Kennedy Catholicism, the Ken Lewis christians, Obama Muslims? Yeah its all the jews fault. We own everything and you guys are all just pawns in our game.
learn how to read pal. The WASPs created the game but just arent as good at it. Dont be a playa hater. Bitch.
uh-oh, stay out of this, folks. J vs. G beats CFA vs. MBA.
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?
-FN
Why is everyone always so angry at Jews?
ShadowMuslim
It’s easy to be confused if you follow the popular media.
Our business is very complex, and we won’t deny that, but it’s far simpler than most other banks. Most of our activities actually serve a real purpose.
@40 who is everyone? It seems like the world hates the US and every time multiple people die it seems a Muslim is behind it.
But yes I guess the fact that the Jews are linked to money makes us the pariah. No one else likes money….its only the jews.
Its all those Jewish Senators trading your healthcare and taxe increases for big money for their states so they can get re-elected. FUCKING IDIOT.
The Yarmulke Fund
Is it true that this year Goldman will have a have a manger and the baby Jesus in a holiday window display at 85 Broad?
@44/pfluger still negotiating with Jesus’ agent at Endeavor.
@volatility
Really? Jets over Giants. While I don’t follow either team that closely and this weekend’s loss by the Giants was a heartbreaker, I think the Giants are the stronger team.
J-Playa @37, thanks for the laugh.
@ 16- You definitely know your history.
@ TC: Regardless of our differences,we play the same sport.
@32/33. Forget the double post. That happens because your posting engine is so slow. The fact is that your diatribe about Goldman and God is a direct derivative of cg’s Huffington trash – classic Gasbagarino. For you to suggest otherwise, simply lessens your journalistic credibility.
This ain’t Sorkin. He would far less kind and deservedly so.
So is it true that Gasbagarino has been booked on Gerry Springer to promote the Sellout?
stop being such a jew
@51 Cartman?
@30/31/50/Pilar, no, no it’s nothing like that. Relax.
@45:
Sources have confirmed that LB has succesfully concluded negotiations with the Pope, and that the holiday biblical display is on at Goldman HQ.
Instead of straw on the floor of the manger, though, it will be strewn with $100 bills and LB will be one of the Shephards, leaning over the manger.
Goldman Akbar
Lloyd Blankfein always look to be wearing Brooks Brothers ties. What’s up with that?
