GS: Bull or Bear?
Deadly sin stock #1: Goldman Sachs (GS)
GS
+2.79%
in
55 days
Filed under: Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Stocks to Buy  Hey, Gordon Gecko of Wall Street fame stated that, "greed is good." He was so compelling that those words became an anthem for an entire generation. And enthusiasm for greed is what drives the partners at Wall Street leader, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS).
The best part of greed for GS is that there are no consequences. We learned that with the bailout of Wall Street during the financial credit crisis. No eternal damnation here. In fact, former Treasury Secretary Paulson was a GS alum. It must be nice to have friends in high places. <>It's no risk ...

Credit deleveraging

Credit deleveraging will continue for awhile. As assets continue to decline, Goldman will continue posting new losses. Their hubris in assuming they don't need government capital injections when they're leveraged 32x in the middle of a deleveraging cycle is astounding. Keynes once wrote markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. No new IPO's. No acquisitions. No new underwriting. Where are the earnings? Where is the pipeline? <> If it's not government injections, it will most definitely be private injections, which is ultimately dilutive to existing sha...

Filed under: Earnings reports, Bad news, Newsletters, Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Stocks to Sell, Financial Crisis  Investment banking star, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS), has many analysts scratching their heads. The turmoil in the financial sector, a weak economy and its conversion to a bank holding company result in a mixture that is difficult to value. As a result of the uncertainty, GS shares have been trading with a high degree of volatility. Yesterday, a huge piece of uncertainty was removed from the equation. <>With some expecting the company to post a massive loss in excess of $5 b...

How to profit in this volatile market
GS
+20.46%
in
255 days
Filed under: Define investing, Goldman Sachs Group (GS), DJIA, Stocks to Buy  The airwaves are full of talk about volatility. But what does volatility mean? It refers to wide up and down swings in the market -- for instance, last Thursday the Dow swung 759 points from its low point to its close. At 11:10 AM it traded as low as 8220 but it closed at 8979. A measure of how big investors think the swings will be is the Volatility Index (VIX) which closed Friday at a record 70.33.
<>If you believe that the VIX is likely to remain high or get even higher, there is a way to profit from the volatility....

Goldman Sachs - I don't know what I was thinking

I too got fooled into thinking it was a good time to buy. Heck how frequently do you get a chance to buy in cheaper than Warren Buffett. I need to make a note to myself "just because one person wants to throw his money away doesn't mean I should." Sell baby sell. Their numbers will be weak and going forward there will be a lot less opportunity for the boys at Government Sachs to make money. Sell baby Sell.

I'm kicking myself for not making this pick when the stock was $88 and trading at book value. I don't know if Goldman will be standing alone in the future, but I know that Uncle Sam wants it alive. This is a short-term trade. No more. If it hits $135 or I'll most likely sell. If it falls, I would buy more, but that's impossible on SocialPicks.

Changes to Goldman's Business Model will impact stock in short term
GS

+18.27%

Due to the fact that Goldman Sachs is now a regulated national bank, I believe this is going to have a short term negative effect on their stock. GS was able to attain stock prices over $200 a share due to their ability to be highly leveraged as an overall firm. Becoming a bank is not going to afford them the ability to be as leveraged as they once were. It will take some time to determine what the long term impact of this decision will have on Goldman's share price, but in the short term, I do not anticpate it running above $135 a share. There is way too much uncertainty in the market....

The financial sector and overall stock market reversed course in late-day trading on Thursday as word spread that U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson would brief Congressional leaders on a proposal to create a government entity in the near-term which would take illiquid, bad mortgage debts off the books of banks in a similar fashion to the Resolution Trust [RTC] during the savings and loan crisis of nearly two decades ago.

When considering if financial stocks have hit bottom first consider this research piece by Bridgewater , the worlds 2nd largest hedge fund. It doesn't bode well for GS, the financial industry, the US Dollar, or the US economy in general. This is no time to be taking speculative positions in securities that neither you or I have the ability to analyze completely enough to make a sophisticated investment decision. In markets like these you are far better off protecting your capital than trying to catch falling knives.
