Goldman -70% profits

Goldman's profits are stumbled and the stock, in pre-session, is showing a -20%.

Long article in the FT about the end of the broker dealer model. The radical ideas of Roubini a few month ago seem like foregone conclusions today. I hope GS will remain independent but hope is not a strategy.

On the upside, they may merge with Paribas.

Sure, it was all an accident, driven by optimal, self-motivational forces. I can believe that. I can believe anything. It's magic! It's ill-lu-sion. Don Henning style.

Meanwhile, somebody's got a huge pile of cash, and we are all going to pay for it.
