NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - In what is looming as another public relations predicament for Goldman Sachs, the banking giant admitted today that it made "a substantial financial bet against the Gulf of Mexico" one day before the sinking of an oil rig in that body of water.

The new revelations came to light after government investigators turned up new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice "Fabulous Fab" Tourre in which he bragged to a girlfriend that the firm was taking a "big short" position on the Gulf.

"One oil rig goes down and we're going to be rolling in dough," Mr. Tourre wrote in one email. "Suck it, fishies and birdies!"

The news about Goldman's bet against the Gulf comes on the heels of embarrassing revelations that the firm had taken a short position on Lindsay Lohan's acting career.

Goldman's execs all need to be wasting away in a Russian gulag.

Ok so apparently this was a spoof.. Man that got my blood pumping..

Everything you have ever posted was a spoof...... you are just blissfully unaware of that. :1orglaugh

Everything eh? You're so full of shit it's not even funny. The only time you jump into one of my discussions is when you think you have a "cheap shot" these days..

Going "short" on the "position on the Gulf region", is that even possible?
Sounds a bit far fetched if you ask me.

Wouldn't at all surrprise me.. They have bets going on on everything..

too many morons in this thread...

I apologize if I am unable to take your lunacy seriously enough to engage you in an in depth manner....... anyway I though mayabong had taken over as the Stormfront rep on GFY....... why are you still here? :winkwink:

Stormfront? I dont even know what that is.

What kind of bet is that anyway, fake.

Me neither.. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh I guess it's some sort of site he hangs out at..

sounded fake from a mile away...

Yeah I thought the same thing. It sounds like a ridiculous reporter conclusion to make the story more interesting, the usual dumbing down of the news. They probably shorted something that operates or is related to the gulf and the reporter makes it into "they shorted the gulf".

Anyone know the stock symbol for the gulf? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I bet this guy planted a bomb on the rig...

Ahhh, dumb people are everywhere! How would you "short the Gulf"???
One can short assets/companies earning in/from the Gulf, but not the Gulf itself, moron.

Oh well, please keep going. It's because of idiots and dumbasses that it's still possible and quite easy to make money on financial markets. A lot of uneducated people buy assets they don't understand and believe that they are secure. And that's, how fortunes are built, by selling risk to dumb nuts.

This just proves how badass Goldman's research department is. Maybe if their stock price dips, it's a good time to buy?

blue oyster loves anacot steel.

GULF OF MEXICO WAS AN INSIDE JOB! OBAMA LIED PEOPLE DIED!




oh boy, here we go :disgust
