Godman Shafts or Goldman Shafts (Goldman Sachs nickname)

Goldman Sachs is a financial firm that’s headquartered at 200 West Street in Manhattan. Some critics (who believe that Goldman Sachs unfairly manipulates financial markets and transactions) have nicknamed the from “Goldman Shafts” (cited in print since at least March 2010). The nickname “Godman Shafts” has been cited in print since at least July 2010, but its frequent use appears to come from a single blogger named “rocker.”
 
Goldman Sachs has been given many nicknames, including “Goldman Sucks/Goldman Sux,” “Government Sachs,” “Government Sucks,” “The United States of Goldman Sachs,” “Goldmine Sacks/Goldmine Sachs,” “Golden Sacks,” “Golden Slacks,” “Goldie Mac” and “Vampire Squid.”

The incredibly bad US & Euro economic news we have received over the last 2 weeks definitely indicates a surprise negative GDP number for Q2 10. That the market is rising into this news does not necessarily indicate that the market is looking past the bad news. The Dow rose to a record high in early Oct 07 before falling over 50% in just 15 months. Just like that phony rally, the current rally lacks any meaningful volume, and is mainly driven by Goldman Shafts ‘high frequency’ trading, which appears to be part of some type of repurchase agreement with the NY Fed, carried on the FED balance sheet under the category ‘other assets’.

GS is not Manipulating Equities higher today. All Goldman Shafts traders are very busy trying to manipulate Treasury note and bond prices with these ridiculous stories about inflation being under control and that the FED will not raise rates till 2011. Anyone that does there own grocery shopping knows that prices are climbing higher, and in the case of meat & fresh vegetables, starting to explode higher.

Obama has no clue how the markerts are manipulated. NONE. There fault is who they trust. Godman Shafts, JPissMorgan, BlackassRock, Stanley’s Organ and Shitty Bank are the ones.

What’s insightful. Maybe the fact that this should put somebody in JAIL from Godman Shafts.
