GS – Goldman Sachs (Last:175.30)

Because I’ve hung out a bullish target in the $190s, we should watch closely to see how stubbornly the little sonofabitch bucks weakness in the broad averages.  We may have an opportunity to observe and learn Monday morning, since Goldman had already begun to sell off on Friday, well before there were any clues that stocks would get hit Sunday night. If the market drags GS lower, the first Hidden Pivot support where we could try bottom-fishing would be at 172.77, stop 172.66. You’ll be on your own if the order fills and initially goes your way.  You should also be watching for signs that a recalcitrant Goldman is keeping the market from falling apart, as might be the case. _______ UPDATE (10:28): After falling shy of our downside target by a relatively paltry 40 cents, Goldman suspiciously did NOT participate in this morning’s phony selloff, thereby telegraphing the broad recovery attempt currently under way.
