The government's interference in the financial markets has become so blatant that references to it are finding their way into the mainstream media. I don't mean the various stimulus packages that President Obama is pushing: I mean the outright fraud and manipulation being practiced by Government...oops, Goldman Sachs. For a long time there has been a revolving door between the highest level of GSax and the Treasury and the world's central banks. The machinations of the President's Working Group on Financial Markets (aka Plunge Protection Team) has been well documented. But now, a fellow by the name of Mike Morgan is willing to take on the embodiment of evil itself and I wish him well.
In case it is not clear, the Wall Street banking industry (with its allies in government) is plundering the wealth of this country. Vast amounts of money are being created and immediately funneled to the favored banks. With interest rates driven down to near zero, retirees can't live on their savings, and their wealth is being extracted from them. Again, low interest rates favor the banks, which can borrow at no cost, and invest the money at much higher rates. The people who actually work and manufacture and create things are seeing their currency debased, and their wealth transferred to the executives on Wall Street, who push paper around, and create nothing.

Here is a sample from a disclaimer:
"Disclosure: Yes, I am short Goldman Sachs stock. I believe this company is evil and should not exist. We need to begin to break up companies that have as much control over world finances as Goldman Sachs."
Needless to say, Goldman Sachs is trying to shut him down, but Mr. Morgan (and his lawyers) are ready for a fight, and they want to take on Goliath. I wish him the best of luck.
On a somewhat lighter note, a somewhat heavier golfer won the Masters tournament on Sunday. Angel Cabrera became the first man from Argentina to win the Masters. He isn't your typical pro that grew up playing golf at the country club links. Cabrera dropped out of school at age 10, and spent most of his youth getting into fights. From the looks of him, he spent the rest of his time eating. At least when he wasn't chain smoking.
That's not to say he can't play. He hadn't realized the potential of his talent, mostly because he didn't seem to think putting was very important. A couple of years ago, he finally decided to do some work on his putting, and he beat Tiger Woods to win the US Open. So it was no surprise that he could win another major championship, especially since he gave up smoking. He still likes to eat, though. Not like John Daly, but Cabrera could stand to lose a few pounds. But then the fittest golfers don't always win, and I think Cabrera has at least another major title in him.
