read about some of their trading activity during an 11 day period in 2008 before the TARP was approved . . .
"During the 11 days the market crashed in October, Goldman was net short S&P futures contracts, all 11 days. The markets in Asia and Europe would follow the US, like a dog chasing his tail for 11 days in a row. Goldman dragged it out for 2 weeks by having their "prop" desks in London and Tokoyo, trade Net short, for the 11 days. On the the 12th day Congress passes Paulson's TARP plan and the market rallies 900 points. And yes, Goldman already switched to NET long in all stock markets."
