Sounds like GS was preparing for a correction in the market. So they sold a big part of their holdings in Q2 likely prior to the correction. Would this mean that they are looking to pick up if and when the next correction takes place? The market as it is seems to be heading for a high towards earnings season. Or has that already been factored in and a huge catalyst is needed for the next big bump up?
