Goldman with a 99 handle!!!

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.

...it is not ridiculous to think Goldman could go bust. In fact if they dont find a partner soon goldman WILL go bust. Anybody without deposits is at risk right now, just b/c goldman has done well dosent mean they will be able to fund themselves in these markets. The whole brokerage model is in question right now. If i was you i would not own that stock.

i got puts on all the bbs with one month to go lol.

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.

my position is tiny. but yeah it's pretty good nonetheless

got goldman at 88 today it was insane made some money though...some coverup for the lost future bonuses

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.
