Reports: Goldman Sachs execs ponder major moves According to reports, Goldman Sachs executives are considering acquiring E-Trade Financial Corporation and a possible merger with US Bank. Both deals would be major moves for Goldman, as US Bank now has more than 18 million customers and 3,000 branches, while the retail brokerage E-Trade manages assets worth $346 billion.
We should probably be a little worried about all of the recent consolidation in brokerages and banks.
