This took a bit of the edge off the rally led by financials and tech today.
Goldman is a strong bellwether for the US financial markets, since they make most of their earnings by ravaging all participants in them. While the fish can still swim, so the squid can feed. So like it or not, as Goldman goes, so the US equity market probably goes, at least in the short term.
It will take all their resources to keep the winning streak intact.

"Repentance and forgiveness are the two great gifts of God. But there is the third and greatest gift of all, which is thankfulness. For with thankfulness our sinful pride is vanquished, our hearts are opened, and love enters — and a light comes into our life."
