more M&A's on the horizon and the rich just keep getting richer. also, the loss of some of their competitors hasn't hurt them any either.

Less competition, legendary traders, huge volatility and huge appetite for fixed income securities. Also, the rebirth of the IPO markets, and the need by corporations to issue secondary's and debt instruments. Best of breed.

Sure they're evil. But they are on the right side of financial disasters every time--causing speculation that they cause them.
Buy and hold and, to quote Augustine "plunder the Egyptians"

They seem to have very strong fundamentals in relation to many of their competitors. I think this recession will give GS a chance to stamp their logos on a little bit more of the financials' market cap. They are very keen with their trading practices. And often they are downright scandalous and unfair, but hey, Washington is letting them get away with it. GS has the gov't in its pockets pretty much. Or rather, has the gov'ts pockets are stuffed with lots of "pick me!" cash. For these reasons, GS will succeed.

One of the best investment companies, most want to use GS as their representative for advise.

Mmm...investment banks...

With the recovery the need for I-banking will return just as the number of market players has dindled.

Probably the biggest bunch of crooks around. Also probably the best risk management team around. For better or worse the above seem to mean that they produce solid profits and returns year in and year out.
Recs
A steady banking giant.
They stayed away from much of the risky sub-prime mortgages, and therefore were shielded from a lot of the fallout in the last year. They've stayed conservative and are reaping the rewards.
Price:
Their total equity divided by number of common shares shows they should be trading around $125 (where I picked them :). They're currently trading at ~$165 due to outstanding Q2 results (22% net profit).
I don't think it's a strong buy at this point. It was ~12 months ago.

Best of the banks. Crisis has strengthened as less competition. Well managed. Still the best and brightest.

Accurate Balance sheet and fast growing .

Should recover along with other banks someday.

Love 'em or hate 'em, they are going to get the job done. They attract the best talent nationally and globally. Long term hold.
