Why Goldman Meeting Should Be a Cakewalk

May 24, 2012
[ by Melanie Gretchen ] Goldman Sachs shareholder meeting will be a cakewalk - so says Money Game editor Sam Ro.  Why, you may ask? Sam Ro's response:
  • Their CIO department didn't lose $2 billion (and counting) on a trading blunder like JP Morgan.
  • They weren't the lead underwriter in Facebook's IPO flop <cough> Morgan Stanley <cough>.
Not Out of Harm's Way. And yet, Mr. Ro warns, Goldman executive may still have to answer for JPMorgan's loss and Facebook's IPO status:
  • Has Goldman made the same types of trades the caused JPMorgan to report its multi-billion loss?
  • Why didn't Goldman take the lead?  Are the reports that large institutions may have had some additional unfavorable information about Facebook true?  Why weren't individual investors informed?
Can Goldman have its cake and eat it, too? For further details, go to [Business Insider, 5/24/12].
