Goldman now has over US$1 Trillion in assets.
If Bloomberg is right, GS has approximately US$36 Billion in Equity.

425.5 milllion shares valued at $84.65 per share.

So they have around 3.5% equity to assets? How does that work?
Since they are not a bank, they don't have Basel type requirements?

It seems that Goldman is playing a very, very highly leveraged game.

What am I missing?
