Just As I Predicted Last Quarter, The World's First FDIC Insured Hedge Fund Takes A Fat Trading Loss

The graphic below pretty much sums up Goldman's most recent quarter...

An
unmitigated disaster, and worse than practically everybody on the
Street anticipated, save that brash-ass blogging dude brandishing those
old fashioned analytical weapons of choice... Two months or so ago
(Monday, 22 August 2011), I penned the public blog post that also
relased my most recent research on Goldman Sachs -
The Squid Is A Federally (Tax Payer) Insured Hedge Fund Paying Fat
Bonuses That Can't Trade In Volatile Markets? Who's Gonna Tell The
Shareholders and Tax Payer??? -  as excerpted:

The chart
below demonstrates how the volatility of the revenues from the trading
and principal investments trickles down into volatility of the total
revenues and profits of Goldman Sachs. I don’t call Goldman the world’s
most expensive federally insured hedge fund for nothing!

And
for those who haven't been following my Squid Hunting series, there's a
lot more to come from those boys at 200 West Street. If you want to
know what will happen next, just look at the first few pages of the
lastest Goldman subscription docs (click here to subscribe):

Welcome to part two of my series on Hunting the Squid, the overvaluation and under-appreciation of the risks that is Goldman Sachs.

My
next post should also include research on the next bank that we have
found that has been (again) overlooked by the market, the media and the
sell side. Can we expect the same that we saw in BNP, Bear, Lehman,
etc.? Well, paying subscribers shall find out forthwith.

I can be reached via the following channels, or directly via email:

I
will be releasing the date (probably this week), location and time of
the NYC meet and greet within the next 24 hours or so, so we can chat,
drink, debate, argue and fraternize with pretty woman together in a
trendy spot in the Meat Packing District or the Bowery (I apologize in
advance to all of my female readers/subscribers). Those who are
interested in attending should email customer support.
There has been strong interest in the London meeting, enough to warrant
the venue - I simply need to get the travel and venue organized due to a
change of plans.

For those that are new to the blog, these are pics of previous meet and greets...

Thanks for sharing this information. I really like your way of expressing the opinions and sharing the information. It is good to move as chance bring new things in life, paves the way for advancement, etc. But it is well known to everyone that moving to new location with bulk of goods is not an easy task to move or shift from one place to other place because I have experienced about that and I face the problem like that. There I go to village near to my city faced that problem there.ladies ski jackets// ski jackets sale// womens snowboard jackets// snowboarding jackets for women// sheepskin coats for women// long jacket// vintage jackets// ladies blazers//

The worst thing you can do after a bad day of day trading is to try to make back everything you lost in one big trade. Figure out why you suffered the loss, adjust your strategy accordingly and move forward without making any rash decisions. If you make a trade out of panic, you might increase your losses. Thanks a lot.

Reggie, glad to see the Taxpayers can help out. I'll be gald to work an extra three hours per week for the next five years so I can bail out failed banks and hedge funds that took massive risks with no down side for them.

Policies like this always makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Thanks for the reminder.....

Reggie, thanks for what you do.  I'm just a regular guy in the middle of flyover country, trying to raise a family and keep up with what is happening.  Your posts here on ZH have helped me open the eyes of some family members who haven't seen things coming.

Enjoy your success and keep it up!

Financial institutions turn on the cold water tap, and hot water comes out of it. Another war breaks out or riots in the streets erupt. Blood comes out of the tap. Where does it come out? We're repeating the 1920s.

BNP is now officially saying that it needs no government money really really and it'll have no problem to meet Basel III 9%. 

It also says that it has enough cash to help out other bankers in trouble. One guy posted here on ZH that the Euro banks have transferred 1T of their money accross the pond in USD, out of which 500 B in the last two months. Produced graphics from blogosphere to that effect. Any truth in that?

If they put their money in US banks its normal they have liquidity crunch in Europe.
