Short GS Long XLF, trade of the month?

Quote from Daal:

heres what one analyst said about GS
"Over the last three years, Goldman Sachs reported net income totaling $19.6 billion. On the basis of these "profits," the managers took their bonuses and their glory as Wall Street's smartest investment bank. Meanwhile, Goldman produced no net cash flow. In fact, cash flow over the last three years is negative $93.6 billion. There's a $113.2 billion disparity between the amount of cash the company produced from operations and the amount of profits it claimed via its accounting. Even when you factor in all of the returns from its investments (which produce negative operation cash flow), you still end up with a net negative number... –$800 million. I've got no doubt that Goldman has the world's smartest accountants. In fact, I wonder how many of them used to work at Enron..."

why do you think they took it public????

Can't do that with a partnership...

& those stock options do make it so much easier on the bonuses.
 
My $190 handle is close. Puts were a great play on this bloated pig.

Getting sick of the media pumping this. We all knew they would beat but not by astronomical amounts as usual so no shock on todays pullback.

May go long soon....
