One Response to Goldman Sachs Underwriting Market Shares in Subprime RMBS and CDOs

    Not sure how why the total CDO/RMBS underwriting amounts would have any relevance. More telling would be the notional amount of the leveraged CDS on CDO for which GS acted as ‘market maker’. Also informative would be the dollar amount paid out on GS arranged CDS on CDO and the industry average.

    And I’d be curious to see how much of the CDS on CDOs sold by by firms like AIG, ACA etc. were purchased by GS in its ‘market making’ capacity.
