Like one animal-in-formaldehyde lover in particular: Sandy Heller, an art adviser who buys for SAC Capital Advisors founder Steve Cohen, says he is taking Wall Street clients to next week’s major art fair, Art Basel Miami Beach. “We’re not going to Miami so we can buy everything with a credit card,” Mr. Heller says, “but as far as a broad mood goes, my clients are feeling more positive.”
Others, not so much: A senior investment banker at a major Wall Street firm recently planned to impress clients with front-row World Series tickets. The company, a recipient of U.S. government aid, nixed the plans, citing potentially bad publicity. The investment banker wound up schmoozing his clients about 20 rows behind third base at Yankees Stadium. [WSJ]

    Nice that CG uses an “anonymous” JPM banker as proof that GS is slipping – I’m sure their biggest competitor is going to be objective.

    you can not believe any of the borderline hysterical shit (eg taibbi, sorkin) about goldman and especially its demise (unless I write it).

    God Charlie Gasbag is stupid. How can you report on Wall Street professionally and have so little idea of what’s actually going on? He’ll believe anything that any “anonymous source” who will actually talk to him says.

    @3
    And this is different than 95% of “financial journalists”, how?

    Unconscionable.. Why is GS so vocal as of late? Directly because of the ignorance / equivocation CG and the likes write. Lose the emotion and collect the facts CG. A quote by an anonymous MD at a rival bank is 100% trivial. Means nothing.
