Lunchtime Links: The fortunate are working at JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs; the less fortunate are at Citi
It may not take a genius to point this out, but you are well placed if you work at JP Morgan or Goldman this year. The same cannot be said if you're in the pay of Pandit.
A survey by Bloomberg confirms this sorry (and self-evident) state of affairs. Analysts' average estimates suggest earnings at JP Morgan have almost quadrupled year on year in the third quarter, while those at Goldman are likely to have tripled. By comparison, Citigroup is expected to make (another) loss.
