Where are all the “whore st” haters complaining about oppy? Don’t you all hate Wall Street?
Since you made the first post, seems you’re talking to yourself…and likely don’t own AAPL.
Wrong
Touché!
“Apple, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of electronic devices and related software services…”
Are there still people on this globe that needs explaining Apple?
Let’s see… The Apple Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Alphabetical. That’d be OK.
Apple has already Braeburn Capital and they are American Express. Now Bank of Apple ads Goldman Sachs to its portfolio. 😛

I would have been very surprised if Peter Oppenheimer was going to leave Apple after reading your article, uh sorry work of fiction, well not really work is it, more like a bunch of crap.
In other REAL news (that won’t be properly analysed) congratulations to Peter Oppehneimer.
Goldman Sachs is da’ debble.
We don’t agree on a lot, but that’s funny.
He’ll steal the milk off your front porch, but he’ll make you laugh. As my grandmother used to say.
He had a job to do at Apple and he performed magnificently.
Now that he’s left Apple? Meh.
where does it say that Oppenheimer left >?
*shudder*. A moral descent into Hades!
W t f Peter is preparing to cash in after providing friendly services to GS…
Will he be able to infuse the Goldman Board with a sense of morality? His time will probably be wasted.
This would be a good play for GS if Apple were going to do some mega deal soon. Kind of like Google and the iPhone.
Mr. Oppenheimer will be a member of each of the firm’s Audit, Risk, Compensation and Corporate Governance, Nominating and Public Responsibilities committees.
Scumbags and fathers of the 2007 global economic depression, Goldman Sachs has a ‘Public Responsibilities’ committee. I would never have guessed. I bet they meet once a year in a treehouse. Total PR stunt.
As for Peter Oppenheimer:
Watch out! Parasitism is virulent. You might catch it and bring it home to Apple. NOT a good idea. 😛
