Goldman Sachs (GS) has been garnering significant praise from experts for its strong performance in recent quarters and its robust position in the financial sector. The company recently raised its dividend by 11%, reflecting confidence in its growth prospects. Analysts point to a favorable landscape for mergers and acquisitions, with GS well-positioned to capture advisory fees from increasing M&A activity. The IPO market is expected to rebound, which should further benefit GS, given its involvement in major deals. Many experts highlight GS's adept risk management and strong leadership as reasons for its optimistic outlook, especially as the market experiences a rise in interest rates and demand for capital. With a notable increase in stock value and good quarterly reports, GS is viewed as a core holding for investors inclined towards financial stocks.

DON'T BUY
Trading volumes are low and investment banking has not that great recently.
BUY
Just reported and beat their numbers. Believes the US system in stabilizing so this would be a good entry point. This is an investment arm so it needs to have global investments going on.
DON'T BUY
Reporting next week. Just barely above where it was at the time of the credit crisis. Outlook for its market making activity and its volume of trade is not good.
DON'T BUY
Pretty much every US Bank has been facing challenges. The biggest issue is their ability to pick up margins in a volatile market with low interest rates. If you want to have a focus on the capital market side of the business, this is where you would go. Would prefer the retail banking side.
COMMENT
Extreme volatility going on and you just don't know. Lost money in 21 days in the last quarter. You can take advantage of the volatility and use some option plays but the low valuation will be sustainable for quite a while.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 25/11. Down 33.74%.) Still likes.
DON'T BUY
Buys in small amounts and writes them out on covered calls at about $5 ahead. Good strategy? Risk profile is higher than what he would normally invest in. Poor performer. Although an investment bank, it is really a bank and he would prefer that it wasn’t.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 20/10, Down 34.59%) With problems in Europe, they are staying very cautious. They are not likely to in this kind of environment.
PARTIAL BUY
Has been hurt badly through the macro issues, the same as the US financials in general. The premier company in the investment banking business. Good time to start nibbling. Trading just a shade over BV.
TOP PICK
4.1% due Nov 3/15. With what is happening in the market and that financials have under preformed a lot, this one is trading from the spread and almost back to where it was during the crisis.
BUY
Trading below book and maybe a little above tangible book. Trading at 9X earnings. Likes the dynamics of the company. Consensus earnings is around $17 for 2012 and if you put a 10X multiple on that, a gives you a $170 stock.
DON'T BUY

Buying Calls? He doesn't like this stock. Chart shows it is in a bear market right now.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jun 24/10, Down 1.06%) Under the political eye of the world. A great franchise. Investment banking is not going away.
BUY
A key financial and you can’t have a bull market without financials. Have had 5 down corrections and is now back at a key support, which he believes will hold. Point and figure shows deep support last year and the stock and the sector should move higher.
BUY
Wants to be involved with US financials because ultimately they have to participate in a US recovery. It’s just a matter of timing. A lot of them have priced in the current environment and are trading at the lower end of their historical valuation. This one is more of an investment centred bank and will benefit from a healthy economy and an M & A cycle.
