We’re told that Goldman has notified the vendor that has catered its holiday party for the last several years that its services will not be necessary in ’08. Obviously we’re holding out hope that this means nothing, and is merely a matter of a Lloyd Blankfein feeling the staff wasn’t up to the task of executing his vision for the evening (“a giant ’85 Broad’ made out of mozzarella sticks,” his app of choice), but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t absolutely terrified GS is going the way of the other artist formerly known as an investment bank (as well at Barclays, Lazard, etc).

    GS will be having its holiday party in the United States Treasury this year. Blood of the US taxpayer shall be served as the only refreshment.

    From what I’ve seen, it takes awhile for the children of the unemployed to notice. That is, for the goodies to stop being showered on them. I wouldn’t be counting on their tears in time for this Christmas.
