Mike,

>>"She received threats and Goldman Sachs has had to hire her a bodyguard," says a banker. Goldman Sachs
would
neither confirm nor deny this. <<

It would make more sense if she received the threats several years ago when she first started spinning the facts to
justify ever higher prices. That's when the pillage began, not when the market started falling. Responsible and level
headed people should have discredited her extremely biased interpretations before she helped hype America into
this situation.

Can't a tree trimmer be an analyst? <G>
