a note on Goldman Sax, and their Fed rate calls lately

in June, GS expected the Fed to raise rates because of the economy strengthening
this was a call based upon strength, whereby the economy could handle a higher interest rate within its cost structure because of robust return of growth

now GS is calling for the Fed to sharply cut rates from 1.75% to 1.0%
which would essentially SPEND almost half its remaining ammunition
this call is based on new perceived weakness

I maintain that deceptive financial reporting is occurring both in corporate America AND the US federal govt

and Goldman Sax now needs lower rates in order to save its corrupt ass in large-scale bond derivative contract exposure

I have given this much thought over the weekend
and this is my conclusion
GS is facing severe losses, just like JPMorgan and Citibank
