The firm’s own $375M investment will probably drop by $75M given expected sales to third parties. And an internal Goldman investment group reportedly passed on the chance to invest in Facebook.

  • of course they will sell and leave their investors holding the bag. Paying 25x sales is ridiculous. When will people learn to buy what Goldman is buying not what they are selling clients.

  • Hey, don't fault Goldman, nobody is forcing the buyer to buy.
    In fact, we should probably be buying GS stock.

  • Anyone stupid enough to do business with GS deserves what they get.

    However the Catch 22 with that, is the Fed and Govt do business with them...and that's OUR money!
