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...

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...

Credit deleveraging Graphic_rating_sell GS

(closed on 02/24/09)

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...

Barry Ritholtz Shreds Warren Buffet

Some great posts this weekend over at "The Big Picture" by Barry Ritholtz; Barry is essentially the "trailblazer" of financial blogging and many a blogger has followed in his footsteps.  In my piece this past week on the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.a) Burlington Northern (BNI) buyout I didn't have time to get into it but detail oriented readers might of noticed this seemingly throwaway line I tossed in:

.... of course Warren wraps himself in the US flag in his public reasoning for the purchase

If there is one man who bests Cramer at self promotion it is Warren Buffet.  Now let's be clear he is < />< /><><>< />< /><>< />< /><><><><>< />< />< /><><>< /><>< />< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><><><><><><>< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><><><><>< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< /><><><><>< />< /><><><>< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< />< /><><>< />< />< /><><><><>< />< /><><><>< /><>< /><><><>< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><><><>< />< />< />< />< /><><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

Potential Fly in Bull Ointment: Early Stage Head and Shoulders Formation
Tradermark

Many things we are seeing now on the charts are similar to what was happening mid summer.  Many of us (hand raised) were excited about a potential "head and shoulders" formation that was in process of being created.  (what the heck is a head and shoulders? see here) Literally we were a handful of S&P points away from this formation completing but on a fateful Monday Meredith Whitney upgraded Goldman Sachs (GS), the next day Intel (INTC) reported and bears were steam rolled as we went on a 3 month rally.

In the past week we've once again broken below that 50 day moving average, which *shoul...
