Over on CAPS, 260 of the 1,338 All-Star members who have rated Goldman -- some 19% -- believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include goofyfool and kirkydu, both of whom are ranked in the top 7% of our community.

Last week, goofyfool took issue with the fact that Goldman "recently cut its dividend and diluted shareholder value by issuing more common stock." Our CAPS member concludes: "The recent run up in share price is completely unwarranted. With commercial real estate yet to hit the books, there's more pain ahead."

Two days later, kirkydu, in response to a Goldman bull, wrote that the company's recent earnings surprise seemed shifty at best:

Do you really believe that Goldman beat expectations? Obviously you read the headlines, not the 10k. They changed to calendar year and buried losses in December. Neat and convenient they did that right before an offering. With TARP repaid they can go back to looting, errr I mean bonusing for non-performance. [Goldman Sachs] will survive, but they will trade in a range for years from about 80 to 160 as their eps will not go up for a long time in any significant sustainable way.
