Vampire Squid, GS

On Wednesday the 18th of October Goldman Sachs (GS) posted a loss for the quarter.

The last time it posted a quarterly loss was the fourth quarter of 2008, right after the collapse of Lehman Brothers (December 2008).  Maybe now, just like then, the quarterly loss might provide an opportunity to own a stock whose shares have already priced in a quarterly loss.

During the summer of 2008 Goldman Sachs stock was in a downtrend, just like it is now, back then we had systematic issues perhaps similar or somewhat similar to what we are facing today.  However, when Goldman reported their quarterly loss (4Q 2008) the stock went up 10 points instead of what most people probably thought–down, and went up about 25 points within three weeks.  Some might call that priced in.  Their most previous EPS loss (10/18/2011) was greeted with the same enthusiasm, the stock closed up $5.35.
