As perhaps the most pro-business, pro-banker/broker DUer in existence, let me say the following:
FUCK YOU, Goldman Sachs. Fuck your executives, fuck your junior executives, fuck your profitability, fuck your lies and bullshit, just FUCK YOU ALL.

To make money on the downside of a market is one thing. To joke about ripping off your counterparties and to giggle about subprime borrowers is INEXCUSABLE.

Too bad the Obama Admin. is so deep in love and in bed with GS...I would love nothing more than to see them hurt, and hurt badly.

EAT SHIT, GOLDMAN SACHS. I hope your yachts sink. I wish you all ill, every one of you motherfuckers.

1. So let me understand
It's not that they actually *did* that, it's that they were giddy about it that pisses you off?

2. Do you understand how investment banking works?
They make money on trades, mostly. But they exploited a problem they helped create.

4. I do. But your post sounds like you're most upset at their glee
Personally, I'm upset that we don't have the sort of regulations that would have prevented this behavior.

5. As Another Relatively Pro-Business DUer
let me say that anyone who sells something short while promoting it to their customers needs to go to jail. That is what illegal boiler-room penny-stock operations do.

6. Pushing stocks that you are betting against deserves punishment
