Too bad the press covered up the dogs Obama was sleeping with.  Goldman Sachs contributed more than $1.5 million to his 2008 campaign, so I expect they knew they would be protected. “When you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas.”

Currently trading @ $163.61 a share & S & P gives them 5 stars=projected 1 year target $216 a share. With cap gains tax at 20% in 2010 who doesn't want to be looking at that kind of profit?

However, since this isn't my field I made it very clear I do everything by the book. And maybe, because it isn't my field, they are afraid I'd screw up doing anything shady anyway. You have to be very smart or very stupid to be dishonest and like most here i"m middle of the road. Hmmm – perhaps that’s why I, a fiction writer, ended up a Financial Controller.
