Huw Cooze (Trust representative)
John Van Zweden
Steve Penney
Don Keefe

Overall share issue is 950,000 shares

haven't been there for ages (although many many many years ago I worked in that building).
decided long ago that the best biscuits / cakes are in the law firms. Was in the Eversheds building this week and they had lovely cakes, although difficult to beat the Gherkin - Konditor & Cook cakes all round :-) |
Lisa you ever like a bit of rough ?

Oddly, I was in 2 meetings with GS representatives today. All 3 of the GS people referred to themselves as Goldmans. Repeatedly.
Should I tell them they don't know who they work for? Perhaps they should quit, or "pull their capital out" as they call it in the trade. |
Oh I see, you're saying it is a London thing? Because in NY both the Times' DealBook section I quoted from earlier which describes itself as "a financial news service reporting on mergers, acquisitions, venture capital and hedge funds" and the Wall Street Journal refer to the firm as Goldman.
See for example:
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB125107135585052521
Goldman's Trading Tips Reward Its Biggest Clients
". . .research-department employees at Goldman"
". . . Every week, Goldman analysts offer stock tips "
". . .Some Goldman traders"
". . .When I joined Goldman"
But no, of course it is not a London thing because the FT also knows the score:
"A high-speed retreat keeps Goldman out of a tangle"
www.ft.com/cms/s/0/90d700ee-b9b9-11e3-a3ef-00144feabdc0.html#axzz35ooHhjfS
What is happening here is confusion because Goldman has many things:
* Goldman's Head of Research
* Goldman's offices
* Goldman's biscuit supply contract
* Etc.
People on the periphery hear the 's and make incorrect assumptions about the name. In fact it is a tell tale sign of outsiders that people on the inside tend to snigger about.
God bless you for elbowing your way to the front of the line for the firing squad again, Mr Calculator.

No Shaky,
what's happening here is not a misheard apostrophe - we all know the firm's actual name.
What's happening here is that two people are talking from experience and one person is reading stuff in papers and on the internet and pretending and is then getting increasingly wound-up by getting found out.
Only one person here getting sniggered at.
btw - I notice that you don't join in with any part of a conversation that you can't look up - why not type 'who does the best cakes in the City' into google and see what comes up - you can contribute to that bit then as well - well, unless it says Greggs ;-) | | | |

Goldman's or Goldmans? Well seeing as the firm is called "Goldman Sachs" it would seem logical to shorten it to Goldman (unless you're from Swansea obviously where we tend to add "s" to the end of a lot of words unnecessarily) and obviously when talking about possessives you'd add an apostrophe e.g. Goldman's headquarters.
So on balance and with a heavy heart I declare Shaky the winner. End the thread. Please god end the thread. |  |

OK - will tell all the people that work there that they're wrong. Oh and all the people that work with them on a regular basis that they're wrong as well. The people that have looked them up on the internet are correct. | | | |

I wouldn't deign to tell anyone that they're right or wrong I'm just saying that grammatically Shaky's view is more logical. It may well be that when writing people refer to it correctly as Goldman/Goldman's but during informal speech they talk about "Goldmans" and pluralise it for some reason. Having had absolutely no dealings with said firm in any capacity I speak from a position of complete neutrality.
As an interesting aside I've just noticed that typing "Goldmans" creates a red line under the word whereas Goldman and Goldman's do not attract such a line. So spellchecker is leaning towards Shaky as well. This is far from definitive proof of anything of course as spellcheckers can have their own idiosyncrasies. But indicative perhaps. | |

In that context probably yes. Assuming you consider it to be a proper noun. | |

Think of Garry Monk and the fact that the people who know him well all call him Monks. Sort of a nickname, indicating familiarity - I'm sure that the internet & spell checkers would call him Monk though and put a red line through Monks - the uninitiated may think therefore that the people calling him Monks are the ones who don't know his actual name - perhaps they don't have the internet?
Shaky also has had absolutely no dealings with them in any capacity whatsoever either, so I wouldn't let that stop you.
He obviously didn't come across them in his time working in M&S (oh, sorry, that should be M&A shouldn't it - those pesky letters are so close together on the keyboard). | | | |
| Club Ownership / Directors on 14:10 - Jun 27 with 611 views | exiledclaseboy |
If they're referring to it informally as a nickname thing, which I agree makes complete sense, it's still far more likely to be Goldman's as opposed to Goldmans.
PS - spellchecker is fine with Monks as it's the plural of Monk. Spellcheckers aren't big on context. | |

Warwick will be along in a moment to criticise that possessive apostrophe. Goldman's ... what?
On that note, I'm out. |  | | |

whatever.
Anyway, this unending series of conference calls that I've been sat on all week is about to come to an end so rather than look at the internet while listening to lawyers droning on, I'm going to go and do something else. Shame - it's great fun watching Shaky scrabbling around for internet articles. | | | |
