When time is good, people do not see it. GS shines when the market gets tough. Look at the 1st qtr 09, GS made a boat load and Morgan Stanley made a loss.
Obama team is not GS friendly for sure. nor capitalism friendly either. The policy is very far left. I am losing confidence in US banking stocks because of the political environment.
US media tends to be on the left side as well, overall. Will you let them run the financial system?
