Through the first nine months of 2009, the New York investment firm socked away $16.7 billion for its bonus pool. While Goldman Sachs employs nearly 31,000 people, in businesses ranging from money management to investment banking, the bank makes now the bulk of its money from trading, using its capital for itself and its clients. Panel members will answer the following questions:

· Is Goldman Sachs becoming a gigantic hedge fund?
· How is the firm making enough money to pay the average Goldmanite almost $700K in bonuses?
· Where is the firm moving the bulk of its alternative investments?
