Th...I think you're all missing the point here. The fact that GS isn't on the list speaks volumes about what their role in the market actually is. The lack of visibility of GS on this list is scary beyond all reason and confirms some very scary ideas about what they actually do and are capable of. Just because they're not listed as the holders doesn't mean anything. I would suggest that there is an extremely shallow backbone of one behind this list... pulling all their strings. Further analysis probably needs to be done to reveal it, although the success of that analysis is questionable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-70776929656280330932009-08-29T13:10:11.066-07:002009-08-29T13:10:11.066-07:00Uh, Carl?

These are the people we'd like to respectfully offer a "Scrooge conversion" with Truth and Reconciliation (T&R) to exchange their loveless world of vicious antagonism for a new world of cooperative competition. <br /><br />It's everything they already have in creativity and competition, only with love, development of universal beauty and harmony, and peace. It's a fair trade for us to quickly end criminality and suffering of millions; and much wiser for the plutocrats than the risk they face of prosecution if harsher voices than yours and mine capture peoples' emotions.<br /><br />Your T&R post: http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2009/07/why-we-need-truth-and-reconciliation.htmlCarl Hermanhttp://www.examiner.com/x-18425-LA-County-Nonpartisan-Examinernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-66389488472038608182009-08-28T16:34:11.385-07:002009-08-28T16:34:11.385-07:00Yup...Can't take this seriously with Goldman S...Yup...Can't take this seriously with Goldman Sachs not even in the top ten.
