Wall Street firms are taking multibillion-dollar write-offs. Titans of finance are losing their jobs. But through it all, Goldman Sachs keeps making money CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who took over last spring, gets credit for helping steer Goldman away from the most damaging investments. And Goldman, which says it has limited exposure to the subprime mess, stands confirmed — for now, anyway — as the smartest bank on the Street.
Which, let's face it, is kind of like being the prettiest person in the burn unit, but hey, it's something. Congratulations, Lloyd!
