Jeez (from WSJ front page). Critics say Goldman Sachs gives key trading tips only to its own traders and favored clients, hurting others who aren’t given the opportunity to profit from the information.

THE government was last night resisting calls to stop employing the investment bank Goldman Sachs as an adviser, despite a new inquiry being launched into its dealings.

Lloyd Blankfein, the outspoken chief executive of Goldman Sachs, has issued a thinly veiled threat that the bank will shift operations out of Europe if the regulatory crackdown on the industry becomes too tough

Max Keiser is emphatic that there will be another huge banking crisis within the next 6 - 9 months, and says that the Chinese are "aggressively" buying gold in anticipation of a currency collapse. His talk (esp. with regards to Goldman Sachs) is intemperate, as his French co-guest diplomatically points out, but he may be correct.

When it comes to deciding the will of God, who you gonna call: Goldman Sachs chief exec Lloyd Blankfein, or archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams?
