It’s abundantly clear that Goldman is making their “predictions” after the market has made its move. They know nothing, or in my opinion, they are playing the taxpayers and fed as fools by overstating the dangers (fed, give us tons of money we need it NOW) and then overstating the recovery (look you fixed the economy by giving us tons of money, thx fed).
