    Now, had a company arrogantly and confidently bet only FOR their investors, would that be your ideal management strategy? Had they failed in the bet (all or nothing, in this case, getting nothing), would you not complain that they were short sighted, selfish and irresponsible?

    Lol no, because in the case of GS they hedged their bets against their clients, and for their own profit, and profited by HURTING their clients.

    should they hurt other people just to help their clients instead?

    You are serious right now? We're talking about conciously moving against your own clients who have trusted their money with your firm. They (GS) purposely dropped their own investments (ultimately losing their clients money) so that the firm (GS) could profit from a derivatives bet they made with another bank. You are rationalizing this behaviour? WOW. All I'm going to say. I'm done with you if you think that OK.

    is a company's objective not to make money?

    They (GS) purposely dropped their own investments (ultimately losing their clients money) so that the firm (GS) could profit from a derivatives bet they made with another bank.
    Should the opposite be considered more moral?

    That they never turned their backs on their clients and won money by winning it from other people?

    NO INVESTMENT FIRMS ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE MONEY FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR INVESTORS. NOT SCREW THE INVESTORS AND PROFIT FROM IT. ARE YOU SOME KIND OF FASCIST PRICK? IS IT OK TO POISON PEOPLE IF IT IS PROFITABLE?

    Moron. For real. You suck. That kind of mentality is allowing the world to get raped and pillaged by corporations. Fascism is not free market capitalism. You advocate Corporate Rule, even if only implictly.

    Have fun in Auschwitz.

    So if they bet against other people, and won money for their investors, that's moral, correct?


    NOT SCREW THE INVESTORS AND PROFIT FROM IT.
    So it's OK to screw OTHER PEOPLE and profit from it, and profit their investors?

    ARE YOU SOME KIND OF FASCIST PRICK? IS IT OK TO POISON PEOPLE IF IT IS PROFITABLE?
    According to you, as long as they don't poison their own investors.

    Moron. For real. You suck. That kind of mentality is allowing the world to get raped and pillaged by corporations. Fascism is not free market capitalism.
    What happened to "buyer beware" and "why would anybody want to make you money" and "responsibility"?

    You advocate Corporate Rule, even if only implictly.
    yeah, I do, I'm not a communist.

    Have fun in Auschwitz.

    ?????????? you did NOT just say that!

    Not true. GS did not use investment capital to buy the MBS. The MBS were sold to other investment banks who wanted to bet on their success.

    They (GS) purposely dropped their own investments (ultimately losing their clients money) so that the firm (GS) could profit from a derivatives bet they made with another bank. You are rationalizing this behaviour? WOW. All I'm going to say. I'm done with you if you think that OK.
    That, again, is not true.

    Look, I hate Goldman Sachs just like everyone else, but there is no need to lie about what they did.

    Communism and Facism are the same thing lol. Corporate and Govt rule with no regard for the individual.

    You advocate corporate rule and think that somehow it is defensible by saying YA IM NOT A COMMUNIST. Lol.

    Your statements are backward. Free Market Capitalism is NOT corporate rule. It's CORPORATE SERVITUDE. CORPORATIONS, IN A FREE MARKET SERVE US! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

    Auschwitz was set up by a CORPORATE RULED STATE. This was my point. History repeats itself. Give Corporations the reigns, I dare you. We'll see what happens.

    No they are not.

    Communism doesn't believe in property. It puts society before individuals.

    Corporate and Govt rule with no regard for the individual.
    Corporations other than the state cannot exist under communism.

    Fascism DOES regard for the individual, in this case, THE CORPORATION.

    You advocate corporate rule and think that somehow it is defensible by saying YA IM NOT A COMMUNIST. Lol.
    What's wrong with that?

    Your statements are backward. Free Market Capitalism is NOT corporate rule.
    How can you have corporate rule WITHOUT STARTING WITH FREE MARKET?

    It's CORPORATE SERVITUDE. CORPORATIONS, IN A FREE MARKET SERVE US! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
    It's mutual.

    Corporations who make money ultimately have to spend it.

    Auschwitz was set up by a CORPORATE RULED STATE. This was my point. History repeats itself. Give Corporations the reigns, I dare you. We'll see what happens.
    How do you know what side I'm on? You can't even answer me if the reverse of your allegations to GS would be moral.

    Auschwitz was originally built for a model city to experiment technology and agriculture (yes, by a company, named IG Farben). So yes, people DID originally intend to have fun at Auschwitz, it later turn into a concentration camp as the war went on.

    By the way, Fascism or Nazism produced Volkwagen, benefited IBM, and if US today counts, has a big industry in Oil, and war.
    Who has communism helped prosper? Banks?

    Transfer your 401k to a Precious Metals 401K

    Do not take your 401K money. You can setup a precious metals 401K and then transfer your money to it. Then buy silver. That is exactly what I have done. The silver is kept in a vault so you own the actual silver.

    I used Goldstar Trust for my precious metals IRA. I bought my silver from Colorado Gold as they have great prices for large purchase but shop around at APMEX and a few other places.

    I bought a combination of American Eagle Silver coins and some bullion but that is your choice.

    Silver is the best way to get as the mining cost is 13-14 per Oz, it is as rare as Gold and getting rarer, and is way under priced.

    I get nothing from this I am just a Christian who did a lot of research and want to help people not get killed from the 100 trillion dollar USD liability we cannot pay without inflating the dollar tremendously (which is what has to happen.

    A 401k can be invested in whatever you want. You can have a 100% stock 401k, if you'd like. Oh, and a slight majority of funds offer a trading window which allow you to buy any stock/fund/etf that your heart desires. Leave out the conspiracy theories and you'll find that the taxing system for 401ks is entirely rational. 401ks allow tax free compounding of returns, and give the US government a stake in the performance of the financial markets.

    As long as the average return of a US retirement fund is greater than the cost to borrow through treasuries, it makes sense for the US government to want taxes later, instead of up front.

    How does a 401k support the system that we abhor? I'd love to hear your explanation for that one.
