Preferential treatment.

The credit markets, which Goldman uses to fund its business, were frozen. And Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Blankfein's predecessor as chief executive officer of Goldman, was begging Congress for $700 billion to save the financial system. Goldman's stock had plunged as much as 26 percent in one day.
Blankfein told his lieutenants the firm would become a bank holding company, ending its run as the jewel of global investment banks.
Goldman Sachs, a company founded in 1869 by a former street peddler that had weathered many crises. It survived what may have been the most serious threat in September, only to be thrust into a new landscape where Goldman will have to prove that old virtues--a vast alumni network, a fierce partnership culture, high levels of compensation and trading acumen--are still of value.
The contingency planning to become a commercial bank had been under way since March, after the collapse of Bear Stearns Cos. sent shivers through Wall Street. That's when Federal Reserve inspectors set up camp at the firm's 85 Broad St. headquarters, a sign of things to come.
The firm earned $11.6 billion and its three top executives -- Blankfein and Co-presidents Gary Cohn and Jon Winkelried -- earned a total of $203 million.
Goldman's record profits last year were fueled by trading and multibillion-dollar investments that leveraged the company's total assets to shareholder equity more than 25 to 1. The firm seemed to make all the right bets: Mortgage securities traders wagered against the U.S. subprime market, bankers booked hundreds of millions from private equity stakes in energy companies and in China and prime brokerage revenue soared 25 percent as former Goldman employees directed business to their alma mater.

Prosecute the manipulators.

An article from bloomberg news says U.S. regulators are investigating whether investors manipulated end-of-day stock prices to avoid being forced by their brokers to sell holdings.
These gaps, which caused the Dow Jones Industrial Average to swing as much as 104 points this month in the final minute of trading, suggest investment firms faced with client redemptions and plunging markets may be gaming the closing-auction system. The discrepancies spurred the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which oversees 5,000 brokerages, to look for evidence that investors are improperly swaying prices. The final minute of stock trading is the busiest at U.S. exchanges after the open. The NYSE and Nasdaq Stock Market hold special auctions that intensify 20 minutes before the 4 p.m. close to collect orders and smooth out price changes. Nasdaq tells brokers as frequently as every 5 seconds whether there are more buyers than sellers and broadcasts a likely range for the closing price. At the NYSE, traders known as specialists manage the process.
Brokers are barred from canceling orders as the auction approaches. Still, traders could send small buy orders leading up to the close to prop up the price, only to place a larger sell order in the final trade.
``If you push the price up by buying 100 shares to sell 10,000, the people who get hurt are the ones who buy at an inflated price,'' said John Coffee, a securities law professor at Columbia University in New York.
``If markets are declining, people are going to try to mark up the close,'' said Thomas Gira, executive vice president for market regulation at Finra in Washington. ``We want to make sure that closing prices are not artificial prices.''
Closing prices are often used as benchmarks to value the collateral a client has set aside to guarantee a loan to invest in stock. They also influence the settlement of options and futures contracts, executive pay and the price of takeovers. Funds that track benchmark stock indexes typically rely on the exchange's closing auctions to complete trades.
Hedge funds are liquidating to meet redemptions and some stocks are being sold on a distressed basis to meet margin calls.

Paulson admit mistake.

The US Treasury Secretary,Henry Paulson expressed regret today for the many errors made that led to the biggest financial crisis in seven decades, but he insisted the administration is pursuing the correct course now to end the debacle.
"We're not proud of all the mistakes that were made by many different people, different parties, failures of our regulatory system, failures of our regulatory system, failures of market discipline that got us here," Paulson said in an interview on Fox Business Network.
This is not an excusable act as this former CEO of Goldman Sachs must have given the tips to his cronies to short the market while on the other hand misleading the world financial markets on all the pre-emptive measures that were already taking place as at the start in August last year.
He got the chick to say that he had "no regrets" about the steps the government is taking now to address the problem.
He might as well use the $700 billion program to shore up cronies giant hedge funds, largely unregulated pools of investments, or insurance companies.
This man has brought disaster to the world financial market even to the American baby-boomers whose source of retirement pension funds have also dwindled.

Dow Jones Doomed.

It's the ugliest and most deadly market ever seen.Previous historical crashes are just mild and well contained.Investors are creating their own panic button and instill more wounds to themselves.Frustrated and worn out in this agonizing moment of time of doom and gloom,investors might as well stay put with their current position and practise a little bit of yoga to secure a bit of cosmic control over their senses.
I'm also being hit by my index futures trading and my positions are way out-of-the money by nearly 80.0 points.Try to be optimistic as the market after these two weeks of non-stop turmoil will reverse it's trend after Columbus Day before the Dow Index expiry.A lot of short-coverings will take place and later stabilised again.It's always a general trend.Cutting losses is not my option as if you have the funds try opening another position a day before the pivot day of the month that is the 15th.
America in just weeks to come is undergoing the changing of guards.The Federal Reserve & the Treasury Secretary are all need to be sacked as their previous promises of early warning system are just a fantasy.They keep on denying the US is in recession.In this time of vacuum till the the new President take office,seems that their deliberate acts are just to ink their names in the history book.Why choosing the October Crash Anniversary to release all these hidden secrets?

Punishing Wall Street crooks.

The surest way to punish all the greediest beneficiaries of the recent Wall Street hogfest would be to let their companies collapse one after the other. But millions of Americans--maybe even a majority--would be dragged into the wreckage as the value of their homes, retirement plans, investment portfolios, and college funds collapsed. Would vengeance be sweet? Hardly. So instead of mutual assured destruction the Treasury Department, and the Federal Reserve could punish the villains while safeguarding the overall economy .
In his speech Wednesday night, President Bush tried to persuade Americans to support his administration's $700 billion economic rescue plan by emphasizing how inaction could hurt all .
"America could slip into a financial panic.... More banks could fail, including some in your community. The stock market would drop even more, which would reduce the value of your retirement account. The value of your home could plummet.... If you own a business or a farm, you would find it harder and more expensive to get credit. More businesses would close their doors and millions of Americans could lose their jobs.... Ultimately, our country could experience a long and painful recession," said Bush.
