Goldman losing its pile of Gold. GSImmediate targets 344, 325, 301. Invalidation 467. We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe

Goldman Sachs | Detailed Fundamental Analysis Investment banking behemoth Goldman Sachs recently announced its intention to acquire GreenSky, a sales and "buy-now-pay-later" fintech company, in an all-stock deal worth about $2.2 billion. GreenSky is a major intermediary for home improvement loans and planned transactions, and allows customers to make purchases and repay them in multiple payments over some time. GreenSky currently serves a $9 billion loan portfolio and has served about 4 million consumers with about $30 billion in loans since launch. Here are three reasons why Goldman is entering the "buy-now-pay-later" realm and acquiring GreenSky. First, to help continue Marcus' growth. Over the past several years, GS has been looking to grow its franchise in consumer lending to generate more stable revenues that can be volatile in investment banking. An important part of that strategy was the bank's launch of its digital bank, Marcus, which offers high-yield savings accounts, loans, and credit cards, and eventually plans to offer checking accounts as well. GreenSky will help Marcus expand its offering of credit products, but apart from that, it will help the bank increase its overall user base. Marcus currently has about 8 million customers. GreenSky provides a low-cost strategy for acquiring not only more customers who will take high-profit loans, but also customers who can be cross-sold other Marcus products - whether it's a savings or checking account or perhaps a mortgage. In a presentation on the acquisition, Goldman said GreenSky represents an opportunity to capture the $430 billion home repair market, which provides 20% plus returns at scale. GreenSky has also created a network of more than 10,000 salespeople with whom it works to transact and engage customers at the point of sale. This segment could also be valuable in the future. Goldman already offers many capital markets and investment banking products that it could sell to these customers. And who knows, maybe at some point the bank will expand its consumer franchise into business banking. Of course, this is not projected or anticipated, but this segment could be a great starting point if Goldman ever decides to do so. Second, it would help improve the bank's stability. Most fintech companies tend to struggle to generate the profitability and returns that shareholders want because they are acting as a bank without being a licensed bank. Not being a bank has its advantages, most notably less regulatory oversight, which allows these fast-moving technology companies to be more nimble and acquire customers in a much more efficient way than a traditional bank. But the disadvantage is that fintechs cannot collect cheap deposits to finance loans and therefore have to count on partner banks and warehouse space, which increases the cost of financing. GreenSky also relies on partner banks for its loans, which probably costs them as well. With the backing of a major bank like Goldman, GreenSky won't have to worry as much about the financing aspect, especially if Marcus proves successful in collecting deposits. The bank will also probably be able -- if it wants to -- to put these high-interest loans on its balance sheet and collect regular monthly interest payments. This is more profitable than selling loans for fees, on which GreenSky earns most of its income. Goldman will also be able to offer GreenSky more resources to improve its technology platform. Well, third, it's a pretty good purchase price. Goldman's $2.2 billion offer sent GreenSky's stock soaring more than 50 percent, but the purchase price is not such a crazy valuation for a somewhat promising fintech company operating on a "buy-now-pay-later" basis, a sector that is now attracting a lot of investor interest. On a prospective basis and after the Goldman announcement, GreenSky currently trades at 3.8 to sales, 20 to earnings, and 14.3 to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). As Marcus and the consumer banking franchise seem to be on the right track, this Goldman deal is to everyone's liking. It offers the consumer banking business a whole new customer base with a low acquisition rate to which it can hopefully cross-sell its other consumer banking products. In addition, the price Goldman is paying is reasonable, given how large the bank is and how the bank's stability should make GreenSky's operations more efficient and profitable.

GS Goldman - Where is it heading?We are at ascending channel but key support area we break down further out of the bullish moment - we will have the bears come out...! Now, I was very bullish on banks overall - even when they had there earnings. For this moment time technical aspects lets concentrate - if we go further below our next support area would be: 193 - 188 areas & Resistance areas would be: 219-225 areas. Go through lower time frames once direction is confirmed, you could even add alerts to your charts or if you're feeling very confident add orders in. Enjoy - have a great weekend.

BTCUSD ShortIf you can look at my horrible chart, you can just about see that a double top is forming. Now you may be like well done you know how to identify what my 11 year old kid can do, but lets look outside of the box. Wall street is yet to open as new york is 5 am, and chicago is 4am, so some of the biggest players are still fast asleep dreaming about something. Now if you have read the news, apparently Goldman Sachs believe that bitcoin is 'not an asset class', thus you would think that with the opening of the market we will see a sell of bitcoin. Furthermore, we can see support has been broken, and that another dump pattern is starting to form. Remember black thursday number one? Well, talking in the chat that is just about to be exactly 10 weeks, so who knows, maybe black thursday two is here; if only we had sales like black friday though.... P.S: Pls do not use this to invest your money, I am just laying the facts. Things can change real quick as many belive BTCUSD to shoot up, so just read more, and try to get to grips with this market.

GS Long-Term Uptrend; End of 2019 Price Target: $200Goldman Sachs has been harried by the 1MDB scandal as of late. Look for the company's robust business to shake off the short-term concerns over 2019 and regain the old highs. The first green trend line gives us an idea of what the trend COULD have been for GS. The second green line delivers a more accurate picture of what the trading behavior will resemble in the long-run. Right now: be wary of this stock as it could reach 145-150 levels before the stock regains its momentum. After that, it should be clear skies ahead!
