Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 81

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS) was mentioned during the episode, and here’s what he had to say:

“Alright, well, let’s start with Goldman Sachs, right? That’s what it’s, it’s the first bank stock. It’s the first stock that reports this week and I’ve gotta tell you, usually doesn’t report on Mondays. It’s interesting. JPMorgan stole the show today with a monster good quarter. Wells Fargo was too run of the mill. That one hurt me for my Charitable Trust. I don’t know… Morgan Stanley, better. Goldman’s by far the most controversial. Why? Because as an investment bank, its business can be pretty episodic.

I think Goldman can do it because Goldman’s a changed firm, one that’s no longer gripped by the picaresque tradition of Wall Street. I bet CEO David Solomon can deliver on the top and bottom lines and the top because of trading, that used to be their forte, and the bottom because of rationalization of the bank’s table of employment. Basically, they can beat the numbers by firing a bunch of people, which they’ve been doing. It’s smart to do that. We’re in a different market.”
