Follow That Lemming.....

From the WSJ:

At the investor conference in New York, sponsored by Merrill Lynch & Co., Blankfein said Goldman, the world's most profitable investment bank, doesn't plan to take any significant writedowns on mortgage-related assets. Goldman shares rose 8.5 percent to $233.04 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, and other financial stocks also climbed.


Everybody else has written down their debt holdings. But Goldman is immune. Color me impressed -- and in a case of thorough disbelief.
