GS has the biggest balls on the street

Do you think the size of corporate balls rubs off on the people employed by the corporation?

p.s. I do have to say that their IR derivatives group consistently recovered after every blowup they've been through

"They" made money, how?

What, is this some sort of riddle that I'm missing?

The obvious answer is too look at their statement of Cash Flow. It's on line and tells you everything you need to know. Then cross check with the other fillings.

I wish I worked for a IB, they will reportedly hand out $16 Billion in bonuses this year.

I would say that the "size of corp balls" reflects the GS corporate culture, so yeah, I think it does. GS trades "bigger and better" than everyone else, save possibly Bear, who is too cautious to commit capital as willingly as GS. This is a direct reflection on the employees, after all, what is a corporation?

I don't trade direction, but if I were in the market for long-stock, I'd buy Bear over GS anyday.
