Filed under: Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades, Rants and Raves, Market Matters, Bank of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Oracle Corp (ORCL), Chasing Value[TM], Headline News, Stocks to Buy  A day does not pass that I do not think of John Maynard Keynes saying, "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."
<>Two weeks have passed since I raised questions about the insider selling at Oracle (ORCL). Since that time, management continues to sell as the stock hovers around its 52-week high, and it has appeared in the top five of Barron's insider activity list sell side...

(RIG)  Unless you are the ultimate contrarian, Friday was not a good day for the stock market. While there are always plenty of great companies to invest in, I've chosen a group of stocks that everyone else actually hates.
The stock market was none too pleased with the earnings reports from Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and General Electric (GE). I was quite surprised that the trio, which are the most heav...

BP or Goldman Sachs - Which Company is Worse?
GS
-30.48%
in
732 days
Filed under: Goldman Sachs Group (GS), BP p.l.c. ADS (BP), Stocks to Buy  Who's really worse, British Petroleum (BP) or Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS)? Consumers have plenty of reasons to be down on both companies right now. Energy giant BP is up to its elbows in oil as a deepwater well on the ocean floor continues to spew oil over a month after the initial failure, and Goldman is currently under investigation for allegedly peddling investments while at the same time profiting from those investments' failures.
But some traders can't help but wonder whether the problems are overblown and one o...

Filed under: Short Stories, Stocks to Buy  Deutsche Bank (DB) has been suffering from many of the same ailments -- a falling housing market, tightening credit markets, countries threatening to default on their bonds -- that have been plaguing other too-big-to-fail banks around the globe. But now Deutsche Bank has one key advantage over all of these other banks: the German government.
The German government -- via the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority -- announced that it is placing a ban on naked short selling on key financial instruments until March 31, 2011. The ban covers naked short s...

Three Reasons Why You Should Buy Goldman Sachs

(closed on 05/26/10)
Filed under: Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Stocks to Buy  Although Goldman Sachs (GS) was beaten down recently on news of a civil fraud investigation by the SEC, don't count this Wall Street giant out. The fact is that the bad press has driven down shares to bargain levels, and long-term investors could make the buy of a lifetime snatching up GS shares at current valuations.
<>Consider that Goldman is now trading at 1.3 times book with its current price of around $157. GS should trade at 1.6 times book -- putting shares somewhere in the $210 range. Despite the fact that Goldman's troubles have resul...

Most unintelligent unsophisticated ignorant people such as myself. Have seen this coming for about 5 years. Have been yelled down by people who are just to smart. So smart they can continually collaspe everything they touch and get people to defend them. How many golf ball can you buy with billions. (answer who cares). Its not the end for GS it is political. And they will pay you think Germany will settle about Greece without taking players down. So bloody arrogant hope they take it to prison. SEC won't lose face, or continue to take massive political fallout for GS and other ibanks hubero...

While the recent headlines surrounding Goldman are terrible we believe the earnings for Goldman have been lowered enough that they will beat and get a pop as they're the best of breed in the sector. NY Times reports for years, Wall Street whispered that Goldman Sachs profited handsomely by trading ahead of — or even against — its own clients. On Tuesday, a Goldman executive made an unusual admission that, in some cases, the rumors were true. In an e-mail message to select clients, Thomas Mazarakis, the head of Goldman's fundamental strategies group, acknowledged that his unit often prov...

That's Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, perhaps the most successful investors in five generations.
Berkshire Hathaway, a textile mill, was Buffett's first turn-around play. He was successful and sta...

Let's do the math on our friends Goldman Sucks. Point 1: Our dolty Gov't handed GS $13 bn in cash by saving AIG, a company with whom Goldman foolishly traded. Point 2: GS is supposedly looking to pay out $11 bn in bonuses this year. Hmmmm. Since the taxpayer will likely lose ALL of it's AIG investment (see also CIT $2.3 bn taxpayer loss, maybe as early as this weekend), the taxpayer essentially paid Goldman Sucks to make bad bets. We rewarded stupid decisions with CASH! Point 3: You are welcome Warren Buffett. For my $13 bn donation to Goldman Sucks's financings in the pas...
