Having been previously under the impression that Goldman Sachs’s Los Angeles office was a lost tribe in the Amazon, never exposed to civilization and insulated to the trubs of the modern world in which we live, we were extremely surprised to hear that they were not spared from yesterday’s carnage. Apparently GS LA, which heretofore apparently employed about fifty bankers, laid off “everyone except for a few senior guys” this morning.

Sweet bro.
What are 1st year associate numbers?
LOL!
Pretty sweet working in the Die Hard bldg.
Who cares…its sunny there and warm. They’ll go get hired by a studio or PE firm in the entertainment industry and will fuck Anne Hathaway…
No love for Blankie – the west coast is the left coast and is usually left out!
GS now at $80. Anybody for $60?
I’ll take $60…mark my words.
@#4…
Is the bldg that GS-LA occupies really the one where ‘Die Hard’ was filmed? I like that movie.
The Guy from Delaware
@6 Just a few more points and Potash will be bigger than GS. For once, I think market cap reflects reality.
POT (= Pile of manure) > GS.
short GS, long LA = trade of the year, brahh.
-retail
For some reason I can’t help but laugh every time I see someone post
“What are 1st year associate numbers?”
@8 Yes
@#12…Thanks. TGFD
Heh Cramer just implicitly called WB a fraud….
Yippie kay yay motherf*cker
@11…I try
On another note, does anyone know if this just covers IBD, or PWM as well? I didn’t think they had that large of an LA office; SF is their primary west coast sattelite.
What are Goldman’s three largest offices?
NYC, London, and ?
Remember that scene in Die Hard were Bruce Willis had to walk across the broken glass? That was awesome.
@17 Charlotte, obviously…
Re: Treasuries and Goldman,I’d say Bove is right!
The country went broke on or before 10/1 when Treasuries Fails/Receives to Deliver rose to 2.6 trillion dollars and remain at that level (see way below). Its over folks…
Treasuries will be as collectible as Goldman’s Shenandoah and Blue Mountain Stocks from 1929, currently selling for $79.95 from
http://www.scripophily.net/b.html
“During 1929 one investment house, Goldman, Sachs & Company, organized and sold nearly a billion dollars’ worth of securities in three interconnected investment trusts–Goldman Sachs Trading Corporation; Shenandoah Corporation; and Blue Ridge Corporation. All eventually depreciated virtually to nothing.”

I have a feeling things will be better tomorrow.

3 biggest GS offices are NY, London and HK
you can buy WSJ from 11/4 and 11/5 on eBay for $119, and another dude is selling it for $9.99…and they are talking about CREDIT spreads widening…this is unprecedented!
Bangalore > HK
Chicago has about 1,000 employees, where does that slot in.
HK is obviously much bigger if you don’t count the IT contractors.
They will all be polishing knob in Hollywood or working for Cheeseman, Kikelstien & Co. Mortgage Brokers within the week.
Gotta keep the BMW Convertible lease payments up y’know?
Goldman had 50 bankers in the LA office? I think Lehman had maybe 5.
NYC, London & Tokyo
London has the artificial sun light so you can work ’til 1 am and still think it’s daylight outside.
GS…see you boys at $40!!!
Thank God we will not have to see those GS Dickbags at Chateau Marmont anymore! Suckers were paying major scratch for bottle service and bad meth. Go work for the Hollywood studios now you fuckin weenies!
