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...

Cramer on BloggingStocks: Can't trust a market too good to be true

Filed under: Google (GOOG), Apple Inc (AAPL), Market matters, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Research in Motion (RIMM), Goldman Sachs Group (GS), QUALCOMM Inc (QCOM), Oil, Stocks to Buy, Cramer on BloggingStocks TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer is not convinced that what was bad a week ago has suddenly turned good.
Feels almost too good to be true. Once again, did we dodge the more than 3% to 5% decline? Once again have we put the trouble behind us? Did we have just enough October scare to inoculate?...

Real bargain stock #4: Goldman Sachs (GS)
GS
-1.73%
in
39 days
Filed under: Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Stocks to Buy  What can you say about this crown jewel of brokerage and investment banks that hasn't already been said?
Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) is, by far, the most prestigious, as well as the most politically-connected, bank on Wall Street. Its success over both the fat years and the lean years has been difficult to ignore. So it's no wonder then that shares of this iconic financial giant are up nearly 100% over the past five years, while stocks that comprise the Dow Jones Financial Services index were down 11% over those same five years. <><>Continue reading...

Well Positioned for Growth Over the Next 12 Months

in
126 days
Although the road ahead for Goldman will be a bumpy one for some time to come, the firm is well positioned to ride out the current market jitters and rebound once the overall economy begins to pick up in the next 9 to 12 months. Goldman has a strong balance sheet and as long as they can maintain their revenues from an investment banking perspective, they will ultimately prevail as one of the strongest banks in the next 12 months. In addition, Goldman has average just about a 9% return over the last 10 years which should continue through the next ten years. Short term the stock will fluct...

Deadly sin stock #1: Goldman Sachs (GS)
GS
+26.45%
in
186 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...

in
328 days
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
+48.18%
in
386 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....

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

+15.86%

(closed on 07/08/09)
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....
