Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and President Donald Trump
We forget the things worth remembering, but remember the things worth forgetting.
The biggest contributor to the Dow's increase to 20,000 has been Goldman Sachs (GS), accounting for about a third of the last 1000 points. The CEO, Lloyd Blankfein has seen his Goldman stake increase by close to $200 MILLION. The #2 guy there? Gary Cohn just left to jump on the Trump Train, unlocking close to $300 MILLION in compensation by doing so.
Yes, that's the same Goldman Sachs that was once described as a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."
I'll let Michael Hutchence take it from here....
