In 2007, total net revenues from residential mortgage-related products, both longs and shorts together, were less than $500 million

Does anyone know what they mean by 'revenue from mortgage related products'? Is Goldman's revenue from a mortgage backed security

a) their commission - for putting buyers and sellers together, ie, just the brokerage part of a trade
b) their trading profit - for buying a mortage security low and selling it high, or shorting it and buying it back,
c) their commission for generating a new mortgage security (like an IPO commission)
d) some combination of the above?
