Bank of America loses $2.24B as loan losses rise

Nothing new here. Goldman's 33,000 employees will be getting half a million a piece. Real estate to skyrocket. Dolly Lenz says so.

You are not logical. You are betting that the entire US economy and real estate market will skyrocket because of Goldman's results. How about BofA, Citi, GE, etc...Are you for real?

tobytoby, sarcasm.

Citi folks have been making a fortune. Highest base salaries on the street now. No joke.

how is it that pandit has survived? insanity rules

Ken Lewis is taking over Citi.

Would this have a negative effect on BOA account holders?

for some reason this didn't bump up. usually i wouldn't bother, but that's one great video clip and we can all use a couple of laughs on a friday afternoon.

Guys, the point here is that there is a lot of hype but the fundamentals are still weak. Weak earnings and increased unemployment rates are not indications of good times. So let's not get excited that Goldman posted decent results while everybody else is getting hammered.

Flmao. The first Goldman guy outside of my known circle is gonna get a nice great bonus smack down fom m'oui when I meet him. The ladies will be spared but not a tranny.

Will someone pls do a proforma earnings based on a 'real' cost of capital ie not 0%, and see if they can earn their keep.

A Kimora lock and a little ground and pound, of course if the guy is an ex- seal, I'll be on the lookout for the 80 lb quant guy. Yeah, beat down!!!!!
