Goodbye Goldman

Posted on

The FT has reported:

The US Federal Reserve is attempting to shepherd Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley - the last two members of the dying breed of large US investment banks - to safety.

It is throwing its arms around the two companies both as a supportive regulator and as a provider of liquidity on exceedingly flexible terms.

Fine. But I attach these conditions:

1) I hope the fee is very, very big

2) I want the government to get a stake in exchange

3) I hope we'll stop believing in these people. When you can't manage your own show you've no right to advise others.
