[quote=SD Realtor]Yeah looks like Goldman is shaking in their boots.[/quote]
I don’t know if they’re shaking in their boots – but they announced great earnings numbers today – and the stock is still down. On the analysts call they had their lead council discuss the case. If they weren’t concerned, why would they have a lawyer talk on their earnings call?
I almost bought some GS a week or so ago – with the attitude that if I couldn’t beat them, I’d try to piggyback some profits out of their gaming of the system… But decided it fell into the camp with a few other profitable stocks (RAI, WMT) that I just wouldn’t feel right about owning because of my very misguided sense of morals. In this case, it worked out. I was looking at it at $170ish – it bumped up to 190 while I was debating it, internally.
Before I get slammed – I fully recognize that I’ll never get rich in the market if I let morality get in the way of my investment choices. I’m ok with that.
