Things are looking good for the suits over at Goldman Sachs. According to Charles Gaparino at CNBC about 50 executives will be receiving bonuses of 25 million or more:

Every year we get the same old corporate bonus story, the only thing that changes is the rising amount of filthy lucre being heaped upon these shits. The responses to these stories are all the same too. I could bring up the pay rates of school teachers, but that's been done to death. Or point out the minimum wage is still $5.15 an hour as it has been since the first Clinton admin, but most people don't get all worked up over that and it too has been done to often in response.

What I'd like to see in response to these pay raises is mobs of working folk pouring onto Wall Street with pitchforks and torches raising hell and tipping over limo's while the top tier paper shuffling moneygrubbers hide under their desks afraid to come down onto the street...

3. If personnel changes = policy reversals, yeah, I am cautiously optimistic

Thinking that might be part of the motivation for the stock sell off. Fat Cats may see there is a disruption in the force that has been letting all resources flow into their bank accounts.

And they probably want to reap the windfall profits they can now, looking to the likelihood of their swell tax breaks from the GOP getting yanked in a short while ;)
