Julius, after reading the full text of Getchen's article I conclude that GS should have avoided this apparent conflict.

>Maybe it was just a giant coincidence that a Goldman Sachs trader put in an order to buy almost seven times the open interest in call options on the Semiconductor HOLDRs half a day before the firm advised its clients to buy into the sector. Although the shares in the exchange-traded fund closed on Friday roughly where they had wound up the previous day, they rose 3 percent early in the day as news of Goldman's upgrade spread. It is unclear whether the call options were sold.<

I admire Ms Morgenson's reporting.
