BINGO. As for many of the others on this thread, apply for a job on the Street if you think it's so easy and bankers are overpaid, partner up with your buddies and start your own firm, or stfu. These guys paid back the TARP, with interest. Turn your focus on the true deadbeats that...

P/E mults are always done on a forward basis. Then, it's a much more reasonable 16, A point or two higher than I would like, but not far off from historical averages.

If you like to have TV on in the background (I do), flip channels over to Bloomberg. Bloomberg keeps it business for the most part. No arranged fights, yelling, stupid jokes, segments called "Empty Calories" (aren't all segments on CNBC empty calories), and less cheerleading. Erin Burnett...

When I saw "most expensive deal" in the title, I wasn't expecting to see yet another rehash article of the Stuy town deal. Lol. Perhaps the largest, but when somebody uses the word "expensive" it should be price on per square foot basis or multiple of rent earnings or something. Anyway...

and how many resumes do you think PIMCO got for that ad? finding ads isn't hard, landing an interview is a bit more difficult. do not list salary requirements on your resume! i have never seen this on the thousands of resumes i have reviewed.

The market keys off of 2010 estimated earnings at this stage in the year, not 2009. 2009 is just about 3/4 in the bag. Unfortunately, some companies have run up so much that they are apparently beginning to price off of their "earnings power" rather than 2010 now. The P/E ratio in the first...

Hang in there pal. There are many out there with a lot more years under their belt in the same position. Figure out who you know, and ask for introductions to people they know. Have something interesting to say and keep networking. School, major and GPA mean little relative to meeting the...

Good point on transportation being surprisingly expensive. Many drive cars they can't afford....and car insurance isn't cheap (I assume that's in that pie piece) Healthcare seems (relatively) inexpensive but of course much of that cost is subsidized by employers and hence that expense is...

in this case, i wouldn't point to inflation as much as i would point to the results of a consolidating market. less competitors = less pricing tension. hopefully some of the smaller brewers take the opportunity to grab share by keeping their prices the same (or lowering them).

TWS has been unstable the last few days and part of last week. Keeps disconnecting.

No, I didn't say that either. The current share price assumes that Pre will continue to ramp into the Sprint user base and rolls out into VZ and ATT or T-Mobile. Sells enough units to take measurable share from iPhone and Blackberry. Starts having profitable quarters in FY10 and solidly...

Now that the price of PALM has run its way up again, I have been figuring out the proper entry for a short. However, after checking around at stores in my area, I was surprised to learn that the product is actualy starting to move. I'll wait until the next earnings call and make up my mind...

To my point earlier, how many times have you been out in Manhattan, met a nice girl, and had her back to your apartment in Hoboken for a cocktail? Just for the sake of convenience, I wouldn't trade my years of living in the city for the couply hundred / month I could have saved while living in...

I think RIMM traded down after hitting resistance at $75 for a technical reason, as well as concerns that need to be addressed regarding market share vs. the iPhone this past quarter. RIMM is a great stock and is heading higher, but AAPL knocked the cover off.

Right below resistance on cash SPX of 949-950. Not sure how either camp can be so sure at this moment, lol

Why are people outraged by success more than failures in America now? I guess it sells papers and it's an easy story to simplify and sell to the populace. Fascinating how the mgmt teams from C, ML, LEH, BSC, and others are the subject of less focus when they allowed their own exposures...

Sold all longs today. 30% short via SDS 70% cash.

Sounds right. But remember that many of above posters have little to no idea about the revenue streams of GS ... nor have they done any research. I love it.
