Daylife/Getty Images used by permissionOne of Warren Buffett’s favourite sayings about the market is: “be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy”.When the market was fearful last September, Mr Buffett was greedy, putting $5 billion into the investment bank Goldman Sachs on exceptionally favourable terms…He has always enjoyed himself in a falling market, which, as he sees it, provides him with the best opportunities.As if to prove his fabled status as the most successfu

Can Someone Explain This Math?

Goldman Sachs bonus pool estimated at $725,000 per employee This week, business reporters told us that Goldman Sachs 2009 third quarter profits swelled, compared with 2008, to an estimated $3.19 billion. The bonus pool stands at $16.7 billion, and, by the end of the year, it could hit $23 billion, according to reports. However, Goldman reported first quarter profits (net earnings) of $1.81 billion; second quarter, $3.44 billion. Thus end-of-year net earnings should be about $11 billion.

It must be great having inside information…..

Goldman Sachs: “A Bunch of Clever Thugs”

October 15, 2009 by Wall Street · Leave a Comment 

Goldman Sachs has a PR problem. I want to direct you to a few of the more interesting articles discussing these. Let’s start John Gapper writing in the FT — that’s where I pulled the headline for this post — who observes: “For believers in Goldman’s ethical standards and way of doing business, these are difficult times. Although it avoided the mistakes that brought down Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, forced Merrill Lynch into Bank of America’s arms, and prodded Morgan Stanley further in

Much Ado About Nothing $23B: Goldman Sachs Bonus

October 14, 2009 by Wall Street · Leave a Comment 

Its time for the quarterly hand-wringing amongst the populace regarding the over-sized bonuses at Goldman Sachs. This Q, its a mere $23B. The focus on the bonuses of top performing traders and investment bankers is misplaced. There are many, many things to be upset about regarding the financial sector — but bonuses are not one of them. We live in a capitalist system, where there are going to be winners and losers. Its not fair, but it is how it is. You can complain about it, but it is all b

After Eight Years Of IPO-Abuse Litigation, An Underwhelming $586 Million Settlement

October 7, 2009 by Wall Street · Leave a Comment 

After a judge approved a $586 million settlement that would give the lawyers $170.1 million, one of them seemed a little on the defensive. We'd all like to do much better, but it's a little unfair to suggest that it's a defeat, an attorney for some of the plaintiffs said. The lawsuit was filed more than eight years ago against a dozen Wall Street banks, including Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup over claims the banks wrongly i
