This Week at the Blog
Goldman Sachs remains in the hot seat this week, agreeing to pay $60 million to the Massachusetts Attorney General for subprime mortgage shenanigans and seeking to repay TARP funds to avoid restrictions on employee compensation. Goldman showed up as one of the financial industry contenders for "Worst Corporation of 2009." As a secured creditor on Chrysler, Goldman took quite a write down but it looks like they did a lot better than the dealers.
The Solari Report: Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 9pmET
How can I know what is really going on? This is a question that I get asked a lot.
This Thursday evening, May 21, on the next Solari Report I will be speaking with Alastair Thompson, publisher of Scoop Media in Wellington, New Zealand. We will be discussing the transformation in global media and how to find the news to help you navigate your world. I publish a column in Scoop Media and recently became a shareholder. There is no global media effort for which I have more respect than Alastair and the Scoop team.
To see a list of topics or to post questions or comments for Alastair see "My Media: How Can I Know What is Really Going On?" Subscribers may also post questions at your private Subscriber Control Panel, easily accessed from the link at the top right of all Solari.com web pages.
In Money & Markets, I will cover who I voted for as "Worst Corporation of 2009" and my selection criteria. Also, why using the Solari investment strategy would have saved many of the Chrysler and GM franchisees from some or all of their current losses--a good example to help your business enterprise identify opportunities and avoid risk during changing times. Finally, I will touch on the story of the Island of California.
In our Let's Go To the Movies segment, I will comment on the media classic, "Network".
