Goldman loses its biggest hedge fund guy
The director of Goldman Sachs ' largest hedge fund has departed. He was one of the few people at the firm who made $100 million in annual bonus back in 2006. We're now seeing a very clear pattern of talented people at i-banks leaving due to democrats' manic obsession with controlling the financial...
Why Goldman Sachs Rules.
Funny video about Goldman Sachs , the Federal Reserve, and the financial crisis:
Who Is Lucas V. Praag?
The Street has been buzzing with theories about who is behind @lucasvpraag on Twitter. The tweets are hilarious, and anyone with a sense of humor has to appreciate the mess Goldman's mouthpiece has created for the firm in order to cause himself (and the firm, by extension) to be lampooned in such a...
Goldman Sachs Administration Services
So I know that in 2008 GS and MS transformed into Bank Holding Companies, which subjects them to increased regulation and oversight, less risk-taking, more access to Fed lending, etc. (I've been reading way too many books about the financial crisis). GS calls it "GS Bank" and engages in a number of...
Goldman Sachs Asia Growth Markets Workshop
Hey WSOers, Anyone know about the Goldman Sachs Asia Growth Markets Workshop taking place in May? Has anyone here gone before? It seems like it might be new since I haven't been able to find anything else about it online. Who else from here is going?
2nd round GS
Somewhat of an uncommon situation. Graduating in May from Harvard with a shitty GPA - who cares right, went to Harvard. Don't know much about IB or interview process, found out it all already happened. Family friend is a higher up at GS - informal interview last weekend while in NY . I was told that...
Largest J.P. Morgan Fraud Exposed

Fed Investigating GS over Greece
In what I'm quite certain will amount to much ado about nothing, Ben Bernanke testified before Congress today that the Federal Reserve is investigating Goldman Sachs 's part in the Greek debt crisis. Evidently, destabilizing a sovereign nation for fun and profit is not okay anymore. “We are...

I wonder if he is doing it because he sees some big plays in the commodities sector and...
Interviewing at GS and HFs
Imagine you have a bunch of final round interviews at GS NY S&T early in the morning, and later that day you visit a mega hedge fund manager at his office. If you were asked at the HF "Where have you been this morning?" (He knows I am from Boston and that I am in NY just one day) What would you say?
Aleynikov Charged in GS Doomsday Machine Theft
Here we go again. I was thinking this guy was off the hook for the theft of bits of proprietary code in the days before he left Goldman Sachs . Turns out he's not. Sergey Aleynikov was indicted yesterday on 3 charges related to the theft: theft of trade secrets, transportation of stolen property in...

Shia LaBeouf Is The Real Deal
Edmundo was kind enough to post the link to the new Money Never Sleeps trailer . Honestly, the trailer failed to get me excited and made the film seem like another steamer courtesy of Oliver Stone. Though I keep hoping the director will return to his glory days, when he made Platoon and Wall Street...
Goldman Exits Viatical Market
Wow. Who would have thought there was a market too ghoulish for Goldman Sachs ? The bank announced that it is pulling out of the life settlement (nice euphemism) business and shutting down Longmore Capital , the life settlement arm of the bank. For those who don't know, life settlements (or...
Amusing Coulter Screed on Wall Street
I'd actually planned to write about how surprised I was to see Bernanke re-appointed yesterday (I truly was - anyone who has read my TARP Guide knows I expected Larry Summers to be the next Fed chief), but then a buddy sent me this gem and I just couldn't pass it up. Republican pin-up girl Ann...
Did Geithner Have a Choice?
After watching Tim Geither get torn a new one by the House today, I couldn't help but put into question the validity of some of his answers - especially of those relating to the Fed's repayment of AIG's swaps to counterparties such as Goldman Sachs and other big banks. Geither asserted that when...
Market Making or Front Running?
Thomas Mazarakis, head of Goldman Sachs 's fundamental strategies group, has admitted to some clients that Goldman has both traded on investment ideas before they were presented to clients and taken the opposite side of specifically recommended trades. The latter tactic is very much at the center of...
Deutsche Bank Discriminates Against Indian Rainmaker
It is March 10, 2011, and today I read that a German bank is discriminating against a top banker, a "rainmaker," because he is Indian. Anshu Jain is a 48 year old head of investment banking at Deutsche Bank and has generated hundreds of millions of Euros in fees for the bank since 1995. Anshu was...

S&P 500 2011 Median Target - 1,535, Really?
Investment bank earnings estimates are truly bullish for 2011. Applying a 16x-18x multiple to these forward earnings brings you to S&P levels unseen since 2007. Unfortunately, something not included in these estimates is that for every $10 crude oil increases, S&P earnings fall by $3. This does not...

Help: GS S/T vs. BarCap IBD
I could really use some help deciding between two SA programs. It's between a Barclays IBD internship or a Goldman Sales and Trading internship. I like the atmosphere at Barclays a lot, but it's pretty hard to pass up on the Goldman name. Also, I think that I am more of an investment banking type,...
BB Leveraged Finance Groups-Which group actually does modeling (even if it is non-sponsor deals)?
I understand that at some BBs , sponsor deals are modeled in the LevFin group such as BAML / JPM . However, anyone know which BBs (such as CS , Citi, DB) have levfin groups that still do modeling for other industry groups, even if does not mean modeling sponsor deals.

Goldman Strapped (and Not for Cash)...
Welcome to the surreal. I guess robbing the U.S. Treasury gave some of the boys at 85 Broad ideas. It is being widely reported that many senior employees of Goldman Sachs have become bona fide gunslingers , and many more have permits pending. Arming themselves against an angry mob as we get closer...

NYT Takes Goldman To Task
The New York Times excoriated Goldman Sachs in an editorial published in yesterday's paper and described Goldman's pledge to provide $500 million in funding to small businesses as "crumbs from its table".
