Banana Republic 2

Obama se réveille-t-il? Stephen Friedman (chairman, New York Federal Reserve Bank, aka Goldman Sachs) démissione. Entretemps, information privilégiée oblige, le dénommé a encaissé 3 millions (de dollars il est vrai):

While the Fed was deciding whether or not to grant Friedman a waiver, he bought 37,300 Goldman shares on December 17, for an average price of $80.78, according to regulatory filings. On January 22, he bought 15,300 more shares for average prices of $66.19 and $67.12, according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The January purchase brought his total holdings to 98,600 shares. Goldman shares closed on Thursday at $133.73, meaning Friedman has profited handsomely, earning more than $3 million in total on the two purchases.
