As Goldman Sachs diversifies its retail investor franchise to consumers and the merely affluent, it is losing more advisors in its flagship “private wealth” unit business for multi-millionaires.The New York City team of Brian Zakrocki and Joseph Wladyka began garden leaves last week after agreeing to join First Republic Bank’s private wealth team, according to a person familiar with the move.
The pair, who spent their entire 17- and 16-year careers at Goldman and are moving with four associates, generated $16.5 million of fees last year on about $4 billion of client assets, according to a person familiar with their books.

It's not the price of the materia;s or products that has incresed by so much the associated costs of transporting the products.
So what does the stupid UK government do close the doors, or make it virtually impossible to export and import from 200 miles away (EU) 1 day to UK in favour of trade deals with countries 9000 miles away dependant on airfreight with the increased cost and carbon foortprint, or useing container ships which are in short supply, take many wieks to arrive and are 8-10 x more expensive to hire than they were previously
Talking to a neighbor this morning his builder told him they are unable to continue at pressent because some materials in the UK are in short supply because the government has commandeered huge ammounts of building matarials in advance for HS2.
It's bottles of water thats the Supermarket shelves are empty of.
Seems that turning on the water tap is so strenuous !!
The third biggest Container Port in China was closed over Delta Virus containment earlier today. Also there is a World shortage of Container ships at the moment, so tell the wife to get a good supply of bog paper in that's the first thing to go in the Supermarkets. :-)
hedgehogg,
Thats insane ! Is that to do with port closures or simple demand supply ? Perhaps you should show them the US CPI figures at 5.4%
If this is the bottom, then perhaps be time for me to buy a few more. Problem is, that kitting out new rooms in our house extension is proving a mite more expensive than I had hoped https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIlNiUGFOGo

Shipping News! - To ship a 40ft container from Shanghai to Felixstowe now costs $19200. 12 Months ago it was $2500. Price is going up, Christmas is going to be expensive.
Be good to see Word Quant getting their fingers burnt here.
This is going x dividend in 16 days price will only go up…
I think we will see $1800 this afternoon then what for the shareprice ? WorldQuant might be wanting to reduce.
We know now Goldman and UBS are saying get out of Gold this could be a good sign for a strong rally / short squeeze.
I just bought 17,189 after 10:00am that appears as a sale in the trades list - odd!
Large number of patients getting infected in some USA states. Kansas City issued alert can no longer take Covid patients from other hospitals. Numerous hospitals now getting full of patients up 100% in past week. Estimated that other operations to be cancelled if it continues at current rate. I doubt if they can ignore the problem at Jackson Hole meeting.
As we are aware the Robots are already driving the markets direction direction , but they are increasingly deployed on the battle field!

Are these the future of modern warfare and how concerned should we be? There are efforts to limit the development of these weapons. More than 50 nations met at the UN in Geneva this month to discuss a possible treaty. But neither Russia nor the United States have expressed any willingness to support the treaty. Ed Butler speaks to Professor Noel Sharkey who's been campaigning against the development of these weapons for 14 years and asked him how close any type of agreement was. Evanna Hu, CEO of AI firm, Omelas, and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council in Washington, says this technology is now at the forefront of many countries' weapons development. And George Rey is a retired Lieutenant Commander in the US navy. He now works with private sector defence contractors supporting the development of autonomous weapons systems for the department of defence.

Yes interesting incite to Sebastien's mental function.
Perhaps he is losing it, by continued expansion ,with only expansion in mind , rushing in.
Seems unlikely ,but look carefully at their assets, AIM Companies ,and many problems with their current investments.
Seems he likes B/F .
Many have made that mistake that I have observed in my career.
Mining ,no Guaranties.
Ok pay the cash Seb.
