An Artist's Impression Of A Goldman Sachs Bonus Securitization Offering
Prospectus Supplement to Prospectus dated August 19, 2009.
$30,000,000,000 *
(subject to arbitrary increase)
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
in conjunction with
United States Treasury Department
is pleased to offer you the following
0% Subordinated HFT Participation Notes
in the
GSBS I (Goldman Sachs Bonus Securitization *)
*for legal reasons, Goldman Sachs Group will not use the word "Trust" to describe this entity
The 0% Subordinated HFT Participation Notes represent a securitization of forward-looking executive-retention payments, payable to Goldman Sachs employees. The Notes will pay interest in the form of negative-accrual on the notes on August 19 and February 19 of each year. The first such negative-accrual will be made on February 19, 2010. The Notes WILL NOT be guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or any of its affiliates. The HFT Notes will be collateralized by proceeds from the bond and an indirect guarantee from the United States Treasury. Both the GSBS I collateral and Treasury Guarantee are for the sole benefit of the Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive retention program, not holders of the HFT Notes. In the event that GSBS I collateral is not sufficient to meet the "2010 Bonus Payment Amount", the United States Treasury has provided a full and unconditional guarantee for any shortfall in payment amount.
At the earlier of the scheduled maturity date (December 31, 2010) or the "Bonus Payment Date", all principal outstanding for the HFT Notes will be extinguished. At the maturity, all collateral in the GSBS I entity will be paid out to executives, which will result in zero recovery value for the HFT Notes. In exchange for the participating in this HFT Note transaction, participating holders will be "exempted" from front-running by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. proprietary and high-frequency trading activities. Such exemption period will last until the "Bonus Payment Date", at which point Holders of the HFT Notes will be subject to front-running, dark-pools, scalping, and other trading actions that Goldman Sachs Group Inc., in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If Goldman Sachs becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to non-U.S. investors due to changes in U.S. withholding tax requirements, Goldman Sachs may redeem the notes before their stated maturity at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. If such criminal offense is committed by a Goldman Sachs employee, it will not be prosecuted.
Initial public offering price 99.858 % $ 29,957,400,000
Underwriting discount 0.450 % $ 135,000,000
Proceeds, before expenses, to Goldman Sachs 99.408 % $ 29,822,400,000
Proceeds to Goldman Sachs executives 99.408 % $ 29,822,400,000
Goldman Sachs may use this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in the initial sale of the notes. In addition, Goldman, Sachs & Co. or any other affiliate of Goldman Sachs may use this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in a market-making transaction in the notes after their initial sale, and unless they inform the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus is being used by them in a market-making transaction.
Goldman, Sachs & Co.
United States Government
Disclaimer:
Any resemblance to bonds or securitization pools, actual or imaginary, positive or negative-accrual, issued by Goldman Sachs or The United States Government, is purely coincidental. No puppies were hammered to death in the preparation of this lampoon.

Why don't you pimp that slut somewhere else. Sick of your brown-nosing then promoting the same crappy site twice.
I think we are all yelling at a robot. This bot continues to apply for new usernames to ZeroHedge, it might be related to the individual that posted the algorithm for the captcha since it appears they pull words from the first sentence in a comment and then add the link.
I personally think someone other than ZeroHedge wants your IP address - it is a bait and lure to get you to click and collect your IP address - not sure if it is government or not.
Yeah, your probably right about the robot thingy. Got a Ford van that has been driving me crazy... oil pressure relief valve is jammed and it is a 15 hour job to fix it... I have to take the alternator and powerstearing pump off just to get to the oil pressure switch! So even if it is a bot, it made me feel a little better.
Collect my IP address?? Hope the pricks don't room 101 me... I hate rats.
Ha, ha, ha!
Please forward this to Timmy, Bennie, Barack, Barney, Nancy, and Harry, and tell them that we are watching.
i bet if you posted this on Ebay someone would bid on it.
Or call Jim Cramer's Mad Money show and see if he recommends adding it to a "Green Shoots!" portfolio.
Reuters-
"The stock market shook off early losses Wednesday and turned higher, led by a surge in energy stocks amid signs that demand for oil may be rising."
signs of.... :), i just saw a sign in the sky..and it's gone!

In my case it was time release Cialis for 20 years...I pulled out with 38% loss..Enough of this crap. Cash is the new Black card...its in my pocket and will remain there forever! I complained to Taleb about missing the rally, he said sweetheart its preservation...;-)
Print this on fancy paper. Wall Street will buy it.
Then GS will short it.

I think Bob might like the update.
Where did he get the original TARP documents from?
This would have saved our economy a lot of grief if we had just paid the crooks a couple hundred million a piece instead of the structural damage to the economy so they could get a couple hundred million a piece by gaming compensation. This is much more efficient, but we just need to add the quid-pro-quo related to the government guarantee - you scratch my back, I'll scratch your back - I can't get your back if I don't get re-elected so fund my campaign.
I agree, write it into the usa budget. Dear NYC scumbags, here is your $200B/yr to divide between you, now stop f$cking things up poste haste.
Obama has no financial sense whatsoever, GS kicks in a million, sure throw them some scraps, not the whole freakin cow.
Pay up Sucker!
Is this in any way related to a GSGSE?
Heh.. I feel so much better now that our oppression is being made fun of on the web.
As long as you guys are all here, let me ask you - does anyone have ANY idea why, @ 11:48 EST exactly, the market went into parabolic, nuclear, shit-your-pants, mega-rally mode? Any idea at all? Reuters/Yahoo Finance is trying to pin the blame on Energy; their daily 1-line attempt at an explanation is "Market Rallies on Signs Oil Demand May be Rising." As if. Oddly enough, CNBC hasn't come up with theirs yet. I'm sure they're scratching their heads right now trying to use something from their archives (yesterday they said it was cause of HD's earnings.) But, other than the obvious manipulation, was there any specific catalyst that could explain why, as if on cue, the indexes went bananas right @ noon? I wasn't paying attention. I know you got OPEX on Friday, and the bias is to the upside in a month like August 2 days before OPEX, when the ETF's have no dividends. But What. The. Fuck? Everything, right @ 11:48, went nuts.
Did I miss anything? Was there ANYTHING in the news that could explain this shit? Or was it the same ol'/same ol' fry it/buy it programs? Aren't they starting to get worried that somebody - like the rest of the free world - might notice?
I noticed this too, and I agree it was unusual -- but I have no idea why or how.
It came to my attention after lunch when I noticed there was a correlation coefficient of near 1.0 between gold and U.S. equities during the time in question. Perhaps the U.S. dollar had something to do with it? I have not checked that intraday chart.

Boomberg: Swiss Government Decides to Sell Stake in UBS Immediately
http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ahHxThBKIivc
Is UBS still one of the largest counterparties for derivative transations? What can happen if 10% of the deposit base flees / is prosecuted, while the remaining 90% wonders if they are next. While at the same time the government dumps 6 billion CHF of in shares (about 10% of marketcap)
I think you would call that entertainment in its finest form...
Holy Cannoli...Blockbuster!!!
I would think the Swiss Government pull out is part of the settlement and there are more names to come now that the Gov. will not get burned when the stock plunges.
That was my thought as well...
Hard to believe it is not related.
Yeah, sure their asses are nice and clean. But this is a recipe for serious trouble. They are dumping 10% of the stock, while at the same time BEGGING the clients to run for the door. UBS should plunge tomorrow.
That said, it is not good when one of the largest derivatives dealer plunges in share price. I think the point is proven by last summer. Tends to give a nasty reinforcing negative spiral. UBS is much larger than Lehman, and people have not reduced their exposure to UBS like they did with LEH.
UBS down after hours -2.33% on +50% vol over pervious day. Looks like the long knives are out.

Thanks TD!
China dumps dollars, US market goes ballistic on dollar fall
stuff the reasons why duh, dollar dump means stocks up in computer speak
Don't think that would do grab the headlines as some other media non think
The current state of the US economy reminds me of my garden which is a disaster this year. My husband summed it up with a line that seems to me would apply equally well to GS : "All you're doing is feeding the slugs".

This is lame. What are you, five years old?
"No puppies were hammered to death..." very doubtful. Llyod Blankfein is an alleged puppy killer.

Hey, Greenspan's been supposedly arrested so many times, it hasn't stopped him from continuing to oeprate as a DVD "asset".
