Democrats: Do you still believe Goldman Sachs arent crooks?
They spent $1 billion to elect Barack Obama and it appears he has paid them back in full.
From James Keller at RealClearMarkets: The Goldman Sachs Heist (Goldman Sachs was Obamas largest campaign contributor)
The Goldman Sachs-AIG scandal may be worse than we think. Former New York Fed President and current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is being castigated for paying off AIGs counterparties - Goldman foremost among them - 100 cents on the dollar and then keeping these payments secret. But it seems likely that Goldman actually got much more than 100%. What is worse, Goldman may have received this windfall by trading on information that was deliberately withheld from the public.
A brief recap of the Goldman-AIG story is necessary. Goldman has revealed that it had $20 billion in trades on with AIG, where it had bought protection on various toxic assets from AIG. Goldman believed this translated into $10 billion of risk to AIG, meaning that the mortgage assets might be worth as little as 50%. Against this $10 billion of AIG risk, Goldman had $7.5 billion in collateral from AIG. The rest of the risk, $2.5 billion, was hedged with Credit Default Swaps, whereby Goldman bought protection on AIG from a variety of highly rated banks. Goldman felt it was well-hedged, thus the repeated claim that it was not at risk if AIG defaulted.
The result of all this hedging was that a crisis at AIG would become a crisis at whatever banks Goldman had used to hedge its AIG exposure. Through its purchase of protection on toxic assets from AIG, and subsequent purchase of protection on AIG, Goldman created a situation whereby its risk to AIG became systemic risk.
Unfortunately for Goldmans critics, this is all fair play. If Goldmans purchase of AIG protection from other banks created a doomsday scenario, it was someone elses problem. Many on Wall Street have realized that being perfectly correlated with the end-of-the-world usually works out just fine.
Thus far in the story, none of the facts are really in dispute. One can criticize Goldman for creating a scenario where the only way it could fail was if the whole world imploded, but we might also commend the firm for its good risk management.
Therefore, the criticism of Geithner for "giving away the store" is overly harsh. Geithner had limited options. Through its swaps with AIG, Goldman had the power to start the chain of events that would destroy AIG. And through its hedges, GS had the power to ensure that this failure would reverberate through the rest of the banking system. It was a form of financial mutually assured destruction. Therefore Goldmans unyielding position was that it intended to collect from AIG 100% of what it was owed. Bet is to you, Mr. Geithner.
It is easy to hope that a New York Fed president would have had a bit more fortitude to play out the next turn of the cards. But we should not be surprised that Geithner blinked, folded, and paid the bill in full. The Feds decision to keep these payments secret is less defensible.
If this were the end of the story, one would have no recourse but to grit and maybe buy stock in Goldman Sachs. But the story does not quite end there. The bigger story, still unexplored by regulators and Goldmans critics, concerns that $2.5 billion in protection Goldman had acquired before the crisis hit. What became of those hedges? What did Goldman Sachs do with its AIG protection?
Goldman spokesman Lucas van Praag made a disingenuous case in a letter to the Wall Street Journal last April. He implied that nothing much became of the hedges: "In order to collect under a credit default swap, there has to be an event of default. No event of default means no payout." Goldman would have us believe that since AIG did not default, the CDSs expired and vanished forever.
This is not quite right. A company can avoid default, but one can make a lot of money selling protection on the company when everybody else thinks they are going to default. That is especially true if one has been involved in meetings with the Fed where the subject of the meetings was how to avoid such a default. A good trader buys protection when a company seems very safe, and sells it when the company seems very risky. It is not appropriate for a trader to sell protection when he has non-public information that the risks have diminished, that the government has unequivocally committed to saving this company.
When did Goldman sell its $2.5 billion of AIG protection? Goldman representatives have said that the protection was sold in the six months following the September 15, 2008 bailout loan. This is problematic. That is so because the details of the bailout were not released until March 15 of last year, when the famous AIG counterparty payments at last became public.
This suggests that Goldman sold its protection to counterparties that knew materially less about the actual risk of AIG than Goldman did. Remember that this bailout w
Remember that this bailout was specifically designed to avoid an AIG default, the event that forces Credit Default Swaps to be triggered. Goldman, in frequent conversations with Paulson and Geithner, knew that the government had just committed $85 billion to avoid exactly this outcome.
The rest of the world, purposely kept in the dark, saw the risk of an AIG failure as imminent. In fact, on September 21, 2008 then-Treasury Secretary Paulson went on Meet the Press and explained that the $85 billion bailout loan would "allow the government to liquidate this company." Paulson may have been speaking loosely, but in the specific language of Credit Default Swaps a government "liquidation" is a Credit Event akin to bankruptcy and would "trigger" these swaps. This is why, immediately after the bailout was announced, the cost of protecting AIG risk skyrocketed. It rose to more than 40% of the amount hedged; meaning that Goldman, which had $2.5 billion in hedges, would have been sitting on ov
It rose to more than 40% of the amount hedged; meaning that Goldman, which had $2.5 billion in hedges, would have been sitting on over a $1 billion profit.
Not bad, even for Goldman. The government had just met their collateral calls, their risk to AIG was gone, and their hedges were in the money by $1 billion. What to do now? The right thing is to not sell the protection until the full details of the bailout are in the public domain. To wait until you have no material, non-public information.
It appears Goldman did not wait until after March to sell its protection. Yet Goldman has denied making a windfall gain on AIG. AIG CDS protection ended the second quarter of 2008 at about 200 basis points. From September 15, 2008 to March 15, 2009 AIG CDS never closed below 400 basis points. It is hard to see how Goldman could not have had a windfall. Depending on when Goldman sold this protection, the gain could have been as much as $1.5 billion. This would mean that while most of AIGs
This would mean that while most of AIGs counterparties got 100 cents on the dollar, Goldman actually got far more.
Criticism of Geithner seems appropriate. Paying counterparties 100 cents on the dollar was unnecessary. Keeping the whole thing a secret was indefensible. Allowing windfall profits was unconscionable. But the Feds behavior may not be the worst element of this episode.
Frankly, it is hard to see how, in having sold its AIG protection before March 2009, that Goldman Sachs can avoid the appearance that these trades were improper. Over a year on, we still await a clear explanation of how much the firm made from this protection and how its subsequent sale can be justified when Goldman had information that the federal government was deliberately keeping from the public.
Answer: Since no one else has answered because they are too cowardly, I will say it. Our Government is a bunch of communist backed crooks. If we don't get back to electing Godly people, we will be the recipients of Mao type extermination from the depopulationist illuminati

Answer: You've got nothing to worry about. That's an amazing story and you have the scores and resume to back it up. I think admissions counselors would favor you over a kid who has the same scores/extracurriculars and had great grades all throughout high school.
You should be proud of yourself.

HELP, my teacher hates me and literally gives me a 0 on every assignment?
I am taking my second to last nursing course online. I have earned straight As in every course (I am old and have been an associates degree nurse for 25 years. My first assignment she gave me a 65 so I asked her what I did wrong. She gave me instructions different than the assignment and stated it is common sense.
Since then she has given me a 0 on a paper that her student teacher had originally graded 95 and stated it was superior. She insists its her class and my work is "unprofessional."
The dean of this department is taking her side, I feel this is because failing nursing students require we retake these courses until we pass and this generates more income for the department. I can go to another college, but they require I take at least 30 credits fromt there school.
I have remained respectful and keep praying whatever her problem is, she will stop.
Does anyone know if there is recourse outside the school (just in case the president decides the extras funds would benefit the school)!
Mark IX 3rd Account: so you trust every profession in society at face value and believe chief officers do not focus on profit? You must be very happy with our current economy and sure that we are not in any financial difficulty. I may be childish in that I feel actions happen in response to motivation. I do not blindly trust everyone in power as you do, but I am glad that you have peace in the world around you.
Jane D: Thank you for your advice. I think what I am experiencing is lateral violence, which is prevalent in this profession. i learned a long time ago never say or do anything in respose to an attack or I will be sharing the blame. As for her grades, I have consistently been a straight A student and am not writing any differently than before. I would be unhappy with a 60, but I could almost understand that. Her 0s indicate to me something personal and other than reality. Failing me may knock me off the deans list for this semester and impact my current honors status.
Her comments and attacks are hurtful. As for asking questions, she ignors (literally) every question I ask, so I am just keeping a record of everything to dispute when the class is over. Again, it is insultive and hurtful to endure for 3 months.
Answer: Ok, you said she gives you a 0 on "every" assignment, but you described one paper. If the two examples you described are the only ones so far, I would wait and see how you do on the next one. Try asking her in a very humble manner if she could show you specifically how your paper is unprofessional. Compliment her teaching and tell her you're willing to change and do it her way. If that and prayer doesn't work, and you honestly feel she's just being unfair, I'd go to one of her superiors, whoever she reports to for the online courses.
I would send a certified letter (because if it isn't in writing, it didn't happen) to them explaining what has happened specifically and state that you'd like to complete the course by fulfilling all the requirements, but you haven't been able to get clear answers as to why you are failing, etc. If they side with her with no explanation, you could threaten to report them (in writing of course) to your state board of nursing.
This may be extreme, but if you try everything else first, you might want to consider it.
