GS can not go BK, it is part of the Fed :)
ReplyDeleteIf you do not believe that GS and the Fed (and Treasury) are one in the same based on all the cross employment and intertwined interests, I feel sorry for you because you just do not get how the markets work.
It is funny how GS always seem to skate by, I am sure it has nothing to do with all their government connections.
ReplyDeleteThe only question we should be asking is why aren't all similarly leveraged firms suffering the same fate. Looks like Merrill is next. But why aren't GS & MS tanking?
ReplyDeleteIf you dissected their balance sheet, GS probably has the most risk, especially considering their leverage to declining commodity mkts…
