>>By the way, I provided that contract to Gretchen Morgenson myself. Now why would I do that? Why would I contact her, not the other way around, to bring out that story? Are these the acts of anyone who has anything to hide? ummm cause yer a dumbass?

< If an analyst at Goldman Sachs publishes an analysis report under the heading Goldman, Sachs, and they're birthname is not Mr. Goldman or Mr. Sachs, though the public knows others make securities recommendations under the GSCO banner, are those analysts misrepresenting who they are? Does it make any difference to the public? If the recommendation is good faith and produces profits in a lawful manner, without inside information but honest research into the market? > Goldman has many analysts who work for that firm. They do not have one analyst making recommendations using another person's name though. Each covers a sector. I doubt you covered one sector, say software. Most likely you covered stocks, whether they be telecommunications, software, hardware, biotech, ... So if Trading Places had multiple employees "posing" as "Skibum" that would seem to be misrepresentation. If "Skibum" was a name people thought provided good picks and some novice starts making recs using that name then that seems to be fraudulent in my opinion. I don't think it's legal to assume someone else's identity. I mean I can't walk around saying I'm Tiger Woods ... (besides I'm 20 years older and caucasian).
