Goldman Sachs Earns $1.74 Billion for 3rd Quarter

s

Goldman Sachs has done it again.  The controversial investment banking firm has once again managed to pull off record earnings during troubled economic times.  Earnings approaching $2 Billion for the third quarter have exceeded even analysts expectations.  This is in stark contrast to Bank of America which reported losses of $7.65 Billion for the third quarter.

Goldman Sachs repaid the government TARP funds last year and set aside an additional $6.65 Billion for employee salaries and bonuses.  2010 appears to be another golden year in this little corner of the financial services sector.
