[…]The drop in third-quarter profit is the biggest since a 60 percent decline in 1999, which was caused by one-time costs tied to the firm’s initial public offering[…]

Goldman Sachs, secondo me, è quella conciata peggio di tutte, come ho già ribadito più volte : forse addirittura più di JP Morgan, che è l’unica che non potrà mai saltare perchè altrimenti salterebbe l’intero sistema finanziario mondiale dato che praticamente controlla il 75% delle transazioni OTC in derivati, nonchè maggior player sulla meterie prime.
Ma per motivi politici, non potrà mai succedergli nulla, almeno per ora : infatti i suoi vari CEO hanno ricoperto la carica di Segretario al Tesoro negli USA, a partire da Paulson.
