It was for the benefit of our new guest..... I would submit that the whole story of trade front-running should be available in trading records of the GS proprietary trading group. Of course, it's also possible (even likely) that the trades be made via off-shore surrogates, or shell corps masquerading as hedge funds. The SEC should be all over this, but of course they're too busy sticking restrictions on short sellers and prosecuting the likes of Martha Stewart, Mark Cuban and Andy Beal....<NFG> It would also been most interesting to see what GS was doing for their own account while they're recent ex-CEO (Paulson) was doing his damndest to drive LEH out of business last fall. Only to have his own ex-firm granted status as a "bank" immediately afterwards. Oh, I'm sure it was just a coincidence, but those trading records have quite a tale to tell if it wasn't......
