Goldman Sachs cut its second quarter earning estimates for Citigroup and Merrill Lynch today, predicting that the banks will incur $8.9 billion and $4.2 billion in writedowns, respectively, earning them a place on Goldman’s “conviction sell” list. Way more important recommendation not included in analyst William Tanoma’s formal note, but reported by CNBC’s Darren Rovell to an in-denial Erin Burnett just now? “Conviction sell on the purple cow.” That is right, suck it Williams.

Hey-o Amherst.
Sigh. I wish I were smart enough to keep track of the liberal arts rivalries.
The Ivy league is so simple: there’s Harvard, and there’s everyone else.
Speaking of Harvard, did y’all know that Bess cried when she didn’t get into Harvard or Williams, and had to go to therapy for months before after she had to settle on Amherst.

can someone explain the mediocre liberal arts school reference?
can someone explain the mediocre liberal arts school reference? seriously, i don’t get it.
“Conviction sell on the purple cow.” is reference towards Williams
oh williams is a school? well, it’s no BU.
Citi and Merrill need to merge with Goldman or UBS in order to survive.
Hmmm… time to go car shopping perhaps…. I was never a fan of GM cars, but I do kind of like that new Lucerne. lol
Amherst and Williams are full of nerds. Ephs and Lord Jeffs work for me now and I drank my face off at Hamilton. Go Conts

What year did Bess graduate from Amherst in.

@12:44- that’s what i’m talking about! bowdoin represent!
polar bears dominate purple cows, and lord jeffs are named after a guy who gave indians smallpox blankets
For academics, there is only one truly elite school – It’s main campus is situated South of 55th, North of 59th street, East of Cottage Grove, West of Kimbark on the South Side of Chicago.
Everyone else is just ripping it off.
Even the U of C is just another liberal arts school.
You could actually try something hard, with real courses and real grades. Maybe MIT or CalTech. But whatever makes you happy while you get my latte.
Bulge@3:19,
Only sissies & fags drink lattes. Which are you?
Erin is hot. I love watching her flirt with the camera.
Also, cocks.
Way to go Goldman. Today you succeeded in unwinding my personal measly investment portfolio back into pre-2007 territory.
Way to go guest @ 4:30. DId you think you were being clever trying to call a bottom. Turns out the circus is looking for more clowns that try to catch falling knives.
@NSD,
No, not clever. Just trying to hold on to my savings.
Sorry to come across harsh. I guess i read to much into your comment. Too many people are calling for a bottom now. I thought you were trying to be a hero and went long recently.
Goldman should downgrade themselves…at some point the truth about them will come out and the shit will hit the fan!
