Is Goldman Sachs Still the Gold Standard?

Goldman continues to outperform along with the market. But is this investment bank as good a bet in rockier times too?

By Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson – Jul 16, 2013 at 3:52PM EST

Relevant Goldman Sachs segment starts at 12:40.

In this segment of The Motley Fool's everything-financials show, Where the Money Is, banking analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson discuss the second-quarter earnings report from Goldman Sachs (GS +1.80%) and revisit the long-term investing thesis around buying the stock.
