This past quarter, Goldman Sachs had a profit 3.4 billion from trading and
underwriting. This article may shed some light on the fantastic results they achieved and makes you wonder if the field is really level. Is this a case of less regulation being better if you are on the receiving end? At one time the spirit of the law mattered but nowadays too many will simply look for loopholes to exploit. Is this just my "Leftist" personna showing?

Ummm ... they are a publicly held company ... so yes the playing field is level. Anyone can buy their stock and own a piece of them. It is their job to make money for their shareholders (owners), just like any publically held company. That is capitalism and what made this country great. Opportunity for all.

I recognize that they are a public company which is not the issue. Did you read the article? Any comments about high frequency trading? Are you comfortable trading against it?

why trade against it? Buy GS ... I have been a long time holder and added significantly to my position in November when they dropped below $50. So i am a happy camper with them over $160. Makes up for my losses in Citi and AIG. GS will easily be over $200 in 12 months.

Now you understand they get the money to do the trading from investors ... they don't just print it like Obama.

Better get on board ... the train is leaving the station.
