This summary was created by AI, based on 28 opinions in the last 12 months.

Goldman Sachs (GS) is highlighted as a strong performer in the financial sector, poised to benefit from increasing mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, as well as a growing IPO market. The company's recent dividend hike reflects its robust financial health, and a majority of analysts project continued growth fueled by rising interest rates and improving investment banking volumes. There is a consensus among experts that GS is well-positioned in the ever-evolving financial landscape, particularly in advisory roles within the M&A space. However, some caution exists regarding broader market conditions and exposure to private credit, indicating a need for careful monitoring despite the positive sentiment surrounding GS's various business segments.

DON'T BUY
Risk of regulatory investigation.
BUY
With some of the SEC news out and perhaps more to come, prices dropped considerably and it is a good entry point. Trading under BV. Still sees good earnings growth with earning power of $16-$20 over the next year or so.
TOP PICK
Trades at 7X earnings and 6X next year's earnings. Earnings have gone up in the last little while even with all the regulatory issues. Great global franchise.
SELL
Had a wonderful run and then pulled back. You now have a falling stock and a falling 200-day moving average.
DON'T BUY
Don't buy stocks on the way down. Also, he believes in the cockroach theory in that there is never just one. He expects more things to come out on this company.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Sep 3/09, Up 7% two months) Covered Call Writing: Own stock and write covered Oct calls.

TOP PICK
Benefiting from its global investment banking franchise. They are in the top 5 in every field of investment banking.
TOP PICK
Report their earnings next week. J.P. Morgan (JPM-N) and this are the best of the breed.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 26/09. Up 58.1% excluding dividends.) A lot of their competitors disappeared. Investment banking is not going away. Well capitalized.
TOP PICK
Things are heating up in private equities, IPO’s and M&A’s. Leader in the industry and will continue to dominate. Trading at 1.3X Book, which leaves room for upside to 1.5-1.6. Bonus payments are capped, which is a win for shareholders.
BUY
Has always had the ability to be a little better than the other managers on the street. ROE is fantastic. Expecting a very large merger/acquisition stage in the cycle.
COMMENT
3.47% due 2014 bond. From a credit standpoint this company has, and will continue to do very well. The real question is, where are interest rates going as well as currency exposure. Corporate bond spreads have narrowed but might have a little bit more to go so doesn't expect a lot of performance from this.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 21%.) Still likes. Beat estimates once again. Trades at 9X forward earnings.
TOP PICK
Bear Stearns and Lehman went bankrupt and Merrill Lynch is part of Bank of America. Basically got rid of 3 of the 5 competitors. In bed with US government and US has to be completely restructured. Basically a license to print money. Crushed earnings last quarter and think they would do it again.
TOP PICK
Bull put spread: Sell Jan. puts @21.45, buy Apr. puts @9.60. Net credit $11.85/sh. Your risk is that you are below $180 in April in which case you would have to buy it at $200 and you have the right to sell it at $180, loosing $20 with $11.85 credit. If it is above $200 in April, you are just going to keep that $11.85 credit.
