Want Proof? HERE IT IS... http://moneycentral.msn.com/ownership?Holding=Institutional+... This is a list of the institutional owners of BP stock. This is NOT private owners. There are 350 million shares of BP. Financial Institutions own roughly 40% of BP. Goldman Sachs (on March 31st) owned 6 million shares...after it sold 4.7 Million shares. WHAT DID THEY KNOW?

CAP AND TRADE

just consider how actually ordinary all of this is

Submitted by cee cee on Fri, 06/04/2010 - 16:43.

1. Oil and Gas service providers, grow by vertical integration or acquisition of other service providers;

2. GS did not short the GOM, they did (as did others who heard the rumors re BP GOM production issues with Thunderhorse, etc) sell a large BP (but not large for GS) position;

3. Bad cement jobs happen with frequency and are typically redone to sufficiency/without failure;

4. SBL did not run a cbl (which not really a big deal) but did leave in an ordinary manner given the expense of keeping them around (and 2 mud engineers were SWACO, a subsidiary);

There is absolutely nothing atypical, or unusual about any of the above events.

What IS atypical is the confluence of event: the failure of technical/process/operational methods and the Horizon crew's failure to follow standard and ordinary practices and procedures. They forgot the number one old timer rule: "listen to the well."

"Listening to the well"...

Submitted by amerianna on Fri, 06/04/2010 - 19:35.

"What IS atypical is the confluence of event..."
That is the point for me. I don't believe in coincidence: I believe everything happens for a reason. In this case, circumstances (which I believe have been orchestrated by the Celestial Forces) sabotaged BP to the extent that they are now set to fail, which is just a part of a couple of prophesies now coming to fruition: "The rich shall be made poor and the poor shall be made rich" and "The meek shall inherit the earth". Keeping in mind that "riches" in the spiritual sense has nothing to do with money will help our understanding of the first prophesy.

Goldman originally owned 6M + 4.7M = 10.7M shares

Submitted by SteveMT on Thu, 06/03/2010 - 23:41.

They sold 4.7M shares.

4.7/10.7 = 0.43925 X 100 = 43.925% shares sold

Thanks. The msn link makes

Submitted by JBPT on Fri, 06/04/2010 - 13:06.

Thanks. The msn link makes it look like they had (rounding) 6M shares and sold 4.7M of them. I guess not.

Submitted by SteveMT on Fri, 06/04/2010 - 13:22.

Goldman would short their own shares if they thought there was a buck to be made, just like Enron's bosses did.

Did Hank Paulson and Goldman also implode both Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns?

Submitted by jtstellar on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 20:28.

but if my memory serves me right, gold and oil also just about hit the peak during that period?

difference between cap and kill ???

Submitted by cee cee on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 16:32.

After top-kill "failed" (according to media) we gained valuable information from the well and could assess probable initial failure cause: compromised casing, casing to casing annualar interface, or casing/hole interface.

Totally shutting-in the well could have presented an unacceptable risk of diverting the flow outside the casing system into the geological strata or fracturing the formation resulting in lost circulation and another kick...a sub-sea floor uncontrolled blow out (in simple terms).

Killing the well can be achieved via relief well.

The LMRP effort is not going to "cap" the well, but will allow the capture and redirection of a significant portion of the flow(which is composed of both gas and oil).

Is there perhaps some semantic confusion when the poster said his inside guys say they purposely aren't going to cap?

cee cee

It would not surprise me

Submitted by doctor011 on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 17:45.

To find out this was a false flag to divert attention away from the gold and silver manipulation. Goldman obviously new what was going on and the happen to be a major player in the manipulation.

Seems like I read there was discussion, disagreement

Submitted by John B on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 15:58.

about the rig going on weeks before the disaster. Maybe Goldman Sachs made a prudent decision based on insider information.

I think you are right.

Submitted by mdonato on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 17:55.

For an organization to be as successful as Goldman is, they must be trading on insider information. Either that or the vampire squid have successfully built a time machine.

Losing money on only 1 of the last 90 trading days cannot be a coincidence or a natural occurrence.

The system is irreversibly broken and will collapse under its own weight.

Good question!

Goldman Sachs chairman Peter Sutherland was chairman for BP

Submitted by northstar on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 15:13.

Earlier, when observing the US AG disclosure of a civil and criminal investigation into BP plc, we noted in passing that BP’s former Chairman, Peter Sutherland, who left the firm is a Chairman of Goldman Sachs International. Mr. Sutherland holds some other interesting titles, including a position on the Trilateral Commission, he was a chairman of the London School of Economics in 2008, he is a UN special representative for migration and development; he was the founding director-general of the World Trade Organisation, he had previously served as director general of GATT since July 1993 and was instrumental in concluding the Uruguay GATT Round Negotiations. Needless to say, we focused on the Goldman relationship. When digging deeper, we uncovered some amusing correlations, most notably between the BP plc sellside ratings by Goldman BP analyst Michelle della Vigna and the Goldman Sachs Asset Management holdings of BP plc. These are summarized on the attached chart.

MMS has "swat teams" which ARE NOT cops or police or armed personel by any means. They are simply disaster response folks.

Bugman, I applaud your level cool head, and efforts to keep the swag, memes, and junk headlines from creating a panic or more unreasoned fear and speculation.
