Goldman indicates it will pay biggest bonuses ever in 2009

22 June 2009

Sarah Butcher

Following closely behind last week’s suggestion that $10m bonuses are going to resurface soon, is the claim, in yesterday’s Observer, that Goldman Sachs has primed its employees to expect the largest bonuses in the firm’s history this year.

The paper cites ‘insiders,’ who say the firm has benefited from a lack of competition and soaring FICC revenues. Staff were apparently briefed on the good news last week.

If the success of the first quarter continues for the next three, the average Goldman man/woman can expect to earn $675k in 2009.

  • Insiders say profits are soaring due to a surge in revenues from trading foreign currency, bonds and fixed-income products and a lack of competition. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com

    The fox is in charge of the hen house. How does Goldman get away with this? Look at this report on 'Program Trading' from the NYSE.
    http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/PT060109.pdf
    Goldman accounts for a full 25% of all program trading taking place in the market. In this particular week 56.6% of ALL shares traded were involved in PROGRAM trades.

    (NYSE defined program trade is a trade that is valued at over $1million dollars, that includes 15 or more stocks. )

    Think some well timed futures buys and some strategic program trades to the tune of 25% of those being dome might help Goldman Sachs control the market and earn quasi-monopoly profits? I think so.
