Someday, Goldman's going public may be looked back upon as the Mother of all Bear Market signals. But, just to be the devil's advocate, suppose Goldman feels it needs more money to compete with giant financial multinationals. If so, it would only be good business judgment to raise money when Mr. Market is accommodating, rather than waiting until he isn't. This wouldn't necessarily require that Goldman believe that the Market is at a top. Instead, they may believe that the Market will continue to rise, and that they better have a larger capital base for competing in it. I believe this is the underlying economic rationale for all of the other great Wall Street partnerships having already gone public.
