Some Friday-after-the-close news: Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon gets a 19% raise.

His compensation package is the biggest for a Goldman Sachs CEO since Lloyd Blankfein took home $41 million in 2007, right before the mortgage collapse. It was was reported on Friday, after the US stock markets closed on yet another abysmal week, amid the economic downturn brought on by the fear of Covid-19.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed on Friday at 19,173.98 – down 913.21 points, or 4.55 percent. The S&P 500 was down 4.34 percent, and the NASDAQ had dropped 3.79 percent. All three indices have collapsed since their peak in mid-February – the NASDAQ losing almost 30 percent, the S&P down 32 percent, and the Dow tumbling 35.1 percent from its February 12 peak – wiping out all the gains since the beginning of the Trump presidency.
