No.... but I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that read that article and got the same impression. Does this mean my reading comprehension is getting better or that this guy is as slow as me? Throw in a dark pool that releases their trades at opportune times and you could almost call it a conspiracy if it weren't for the fact that we know the folks at GS are pillars of business.... or is it government? Doesn't matter. All is well in Muddville. I wonder if the SEC ever uses the GS letterhead by mistake when sending out edicts.....
