Quote from BlueStreek:
that last number is from the june 13, 2006 (previous qtr) to show goldman sachs is making money hand over fist---and have been for the last 4 years---anybody who thinks that GS is not a powerful force on wallstreet, and that look.....see this little "hedge fund" lost money as an indication validating the aformentioned claim needs a reality check.
Bottom line: just make sure your on the same side as GS when you place a trade---and they were the ones selling to all you "rally monkeys" after the better than expected retail sales numbers came out!!
