Picture Of The Day: Even (Vampire) Squids Meet Their Maker Eventually
Just like in nature, huge (market moving, trading perfection) squids end up as a whale's breakfast sooner or later.

HAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Nice TD
Once all these smart individuals are done with extracting profits (all of them hiding under GS name)..they will intentionally come after it and TimmyG and BenB...Its a high stakes and powerful game, not that easy for an common individual to understand.
Most of you here make you own stories by reading what is fed thru media. But you really have to go paranoid to get the big game...
There is a bigger game out there hiding behind the noise, get it if you have the guts and brains to think like them...
A warming thought - is that Loyd Blankfien's shirt-tail?
No... I'm afraid it was Paulson...

And all this time I thought the gentle Whale was a vegan...
priceless
Does this mean Lord Blankfein is plankton?
That would be when Benny's helo runs out of gas!
BU-HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!! BU-HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!
Awesome sight for the weekend. It will help me sleep straight. Thanks Tyler!
Reality always bats last. And she always wins. It's just a matter of time.
Tyler, We all focus on Goldman ... what about JPM and sneaky Dimon - they could be the whale in the above picture. Any thoughts?
JPMoby Dick
it's sooooOoosoooooo SOOOO Dimon!
If the squid is GS, is the whale the gold market?
The gold market is'nt big enough,more like the size of a herring
My guess is the Whale represents Bond Vigilantes that come out of hiding to jack IRS positions around.
That's a nice picture of The People's Bank of China. You don't often see it smiling like that...
so who's the whale in this pictogram-
not Moby Dick- pray tell
Looks like a Goldman Sachs beach party below...
When it rains, it pours.
The question as I see it, is not does the Fed favor Goldman. The more relevant question is how badly does the Fed need Goldman to facilitate the workings of the alphabet soup of liquidity programs...I don't know if its possible for two parasites to have a symbiotic relationship but GS and the Fed sure seem like they're on that level.
GS has corrupted/infiltrated the fed, the executive, and the legislative branches of government. There is no "favors" to it. They are what they are, no less than the puppetmaster behind it all.
I do not know enough biology to answer your question in a narrow sense.
In human relations that can be described as a contract between two parties at the expense of a third (tax-paying) party.
... and in vulgar terms that can be described as "sucking each other's dick"...
Thats not even nearly vulgar enough to describe how the taxpayer is being had.
A successful parasite doesn't harm it's host. The evolutionary bias of parasites is to promote the health of the host thereby ensuring it's survival. I always thought the parasite analagy was a good one but there has been a shift in my thinking. Goldman Sucks has a more predatory posture.
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify this company. I realized that its not actually a bank of any kind. Every bank on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but this company does not. It moves to an area, and multiplies, and multiplies, until every shred of wealth is consumed. The only way this company can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Goldman Sachs is a disease, a cancer of this planet, they are a plague, and we are the cure.
Nice!
Easy there Agent Smith...
Good one!
Hello President "change we can believe in" Obama. Are you there????

LOL and I see GS is down 1% today on the back of that rumour ;)
courtesy HuffPo? How about a guest column from Arianna?
I think that the "Whale" will be when all public products will have to go through price discovery on a truly first come first served defragmented direct access exchange....including all asset classes including all derivative products....which in turn is easily electronically monitored....
This means no more fat mark ups on anything....
And when combined with the re-enactment of separating banks from any aspect of the securities business....
Will not be just any whale....but the great blue whale....
By the way....that is Blankfein in the photo....He was chasing baitfish....and ended up being the same....
He will passed as a rank gas....I am sure of it....
Who plays the Japanese fishing boat?
+1 for thinking about the end game.
My only question is: and who would be that whale?
The Whale is the United States Taxpayer. The Fed no longer has the full faith of the people and our credit is bad.
well if i could only put my meds down and turn off the tube, i would get off my ass and do something
That whale would be China... the only entity with enough capital to eat the giant vampire squid whole.
The U.S. taxpayer is a little tiny jellyfish. One jellyfish won't hurt The Squid at all. A thousand jellyfish would leave a good sting. 300 million jellyfish would render The Squid to FUBAR status.
Right now, the jellyfish are feeding on plankton and watching Sponge Barack Square Pants.
Agreed (1) China's the only whale in the water and (2) Biden does sound and act like Patrick.
Agreed.
"Sponge Barack Square Pants" - ROTFL!
Sharpen your knives folk... wait, you guys are all traders too. Well, buy yourselves some armor.
. . . however baby man may brag of his science and skill, and however much, in a flattering future, that science and skill may augment; yet for ever and for ever, to the crack of doom, the sea will insult and murder him, and pulverize the stateliest, stiffest frigate he can make; nevertheless, by the continual repetition of these very impressions, man has lost that sense of the full awfulness of the sea which aboriginally belongs to it.
Herman Melville...Moby Dick
who's the whale?
I want some Golden Schmucks calamari, first bludgeoned, then deep-fried!
You are what you eat.
I believe the taxonomy of that whale is totalus collapsus revolutionous
Ah, Tyler, one can only hope...

Goldman Sachs reality construction is this.
We're assholes. We're cheats, We're liars. We're here to force you to live peacefully with our reality consturction. Schools over people are going to stop doing their lessons again.
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zzzzzzzzzzzz
you are all stupid ideots, read carefully on the bottom of the picture.
Remains of the Squid, right? That is when all the money cranking families and crooked individuals are out of GS machine and clean their karma records they will let it die.
You have learned nothing from AIG and how it was made the scapegoat.....Wakeup people, go to the SOURCE of problem, find it and FIX it...
This takes the biscuit..
"Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley along with other big New York employers, received hundreds, even thousands, of H1N1 vaccine doses before hospitals and other healthcare providers, many of which have run out of the precious drug."
I am totally gobsmacked!
At least 2 good reasons:
1) The vampires need to be in good health,
otherwise your blood, I meant 401k, will go to
waste when/if H1N1 kills you...
2) They cant afford to not suck your blood because it got infected- imagine how pathetic of an excuse would that be...
On a separate note, I hear those new genetically manufactured vaccines (not from eggs) are highly
experimental and not nearly enough tested, otherwise
why would the congress give big pharma legal immunity
to convince them make it ? So in this line of thinking, give them more of it, I am just curious by nature...
Wow, they are out to get everyone who dares to say how it is

Moukhtar Dzhakishev (Kazakh: ?????? ???i???; Russian: ?????? ????????) is a notable Kazakh businessman and the former head of Kazatomprom.
Watch his interview on Youtube.com, where he openly accuses Frank Giustra of manipulating uranium market and being a piggybank to Democratic party (in russian)

Our only hope is for a whale of a prosecutor... hungry for GS, the Kobe beef of scungilli.
Which of course dovetails nicely with the phrase "lower than whaleshit." (ie. it drops to the bottom of the ocean).
Ex. "Did anyone notice how Hank Paulson acted during the banking crises? Man, that guy's lower than whaleshit."
Hey Ano... leave poor Hank alone... he was clearly working under death threats (against himself and family... on his knees begging for the bailout)... "Banksters" play hardball my friend.
The real problem is... the Banksters get away with it, with impunity... lets focus all this powerful intellect (at ZH) on the root cause, and see what we can do about it. All this acerbic wit is a waste of time and energy... in my humble opinion.

Sperm whale? Bonin Island? You can't make this stuff up....
