3 Reasons to Sell Goldman Sachs

Updated

Why should a Goldman Sachs shareholder want to sell his position? In this video, Matt Koppenheffer gives three reasons:

  • Brand damage in the aftermath of the financial/banking crisis.

  • Its trend of taking on less risk in the current financial environment, where it has traditionally taken on risks to score big profits.

  • Big paydays for its top people. Goldman needs to generate profits for its shareholders despite those large payouts.
