3 Liberals are the worst thing that ever happened in American history. They are the cause off ALL social problems since the 60's and the reason we are falling behind as a world power. |

2 Insight on the News, August 26, 2002 | by John Berlau Hovering above all this is the case of Jon Corzine (D-N.J.). Mounting evidence has come to light that during Corzine's reign as co-chairman of Goldman Sachs-- formerly cochaired by Rubin--the firm may have manipulated the market and inflated stock prices through a controversial practice called "laddering" in which it would give brokerage firms shares of an initial public offering (IPO) at very low prices in exchange for a commitment to buy some shares at a higher price once it opened on the market. Nicholas Maier, syndicate manager for the brokerage firm Cramer and Co. from 1996 to 1998, wrote about laddering in his powerful book Trading With the Enemy. "Goldman Sachs was one of the chief perpetrators of an illegal act that was the original sin of the Internet bubble," Maier tells INSIGHT. As Maier describes it on the Dotcom Scoop Website, "I would get my 5,000 shares of an IPO [from Goldman] at 20, agree to buy more at 100, and over the next day or two sell it all with another broker. Remember, none of these aftermarket orders had anything to do with what I honestly valued a company to be worth. I only bought more because of the direct kickback." Maier says it was this practice, more than others commonly cited such as the overuse of stock options, that fueled the stock-market frenzy. Seeing the high stock prices and thinking the demand was real, average investors would buy in and be left holding the bag. "It turned all these stocks, which have proven to be losers, into instant winners" long enough for the insiders to rake in millions, Maier says. "The little guy at home had no idea these stocks had been artificially manipulated, and they bought. Whereas people in the know, such as Cramer and Co., were selling as fast as possible." Some on Wall Street are saying Goldman Sachs as a firm has escaped scrutiny because of its ties to big-time Democrats Corzine and Rubin, and the perception it cultivates of itself as a "progressive" firm. "They have a tendency to hire people who are politically connected, and you can infer from this that they're planning on using their connections," Alan Reynolds, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute, tells INSIGHT. The press recently oohed and aahed when Henry Paulson, Goldman's current CEO, spoke at the National Press Club in support of new regulations touted by Democrats. But Reynolds sees this speech as an effort to take the spotlight off of Goldman Sachs' problems. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/i... |

1 Or is the double standard that Conservatives have imagined actually a reality in the House? Representative Grayson, in my view, should get his resume updated as there is no way this individual will be reelected. |
