Goldman's Brand Is Officially Trashed (GS) But shareholders keep laughing all the way to the ba
• The Business InsiderGoldman Sachs' reputation among both the general public and financially sophisticated Americans has been damaged by the events of the past year. Meanwhile, Goldman shares look set to open around $165 today, over 300% off their lows from the crisis. If this reputational hit mattered, nobody bothered to tell paid-up Goldman Sachs shareholders. The report doesn't quantify the decline, but we can surmise that it's significant. Want another shocker? Barack Obama has received more from one source–Goldman Sachs $542,252.00–than McCain has from all of the companies combined. Who the hell is more beholden to lobbyists? And why does a junior Senator from Illinois rate this kind of dough? http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/09/21/baracks-wall-street-problem-is-now-americas/
