Sour grapes or sour dough?
So you decide to leave Goldman Sachs for ethical reasons, but you make a big splash out of it, by resigning to the whole world in the New York Times. You talk about your Ivy League education, the fact that you were picked out of 30,000 people to appear of the firm’s recruiting video, which is...

Hubris Kills as Investment Banking Bonuses Doled Out
No, wait. Do NOT spray the champagne; these investment banking bonuses are, after all, for our work in 2011. Goldman’s days of paying bonuses in stacks of $100,000 checks may be gone, but the hubris of Harvard’s type A, beauty queens will always stay. Yes, today is the day where grown men, some...

So, GS ’ Global Research crack team released their top trades for 2012 list earlier this week and I have to say, it’s a pretty interesting mix of ideas. It’s mostly bearish though, with themes ranging from further deterioration in the EU, sub-par growth in China, to the Fed, the BoE, and...
Half-Price Deal on Groupon Shares

Goldman Sachs is Dead
Goldman Sachs , the infamously glorified work place of almost everyone here, cannot seem to break any good news into the media. Of course, GS is known to have the brightest people and as much prestige as English royalty. Nonetheless, I will one up Meredith Whitney and claim that Goldman’s...
