look at GS-PA . since it's pretty much ridiculous to think that goldman is gonna go bust, goldman's preferred has been WAY oversold. i think that much of Goldman's CDS spread is due to the fact that there is no one willing to write protection on Goldman.

disclaimer: this is not trade solicitation of any sort. I own GS-PA. so ha.

 

If you owned puts on the banks in the past couple days/weeks you made out like a bandit. Talk about a mega trade. If you bought puts on the banks today you paid a fortune for those options.

bondarb, i know you know this business a lot better than i do. while it's quite possible that goldman may not find a commercial bank, i'm thinking that the boys at GS can pull something out of their bag of tricks.
