...long-awaited slowdown is "absolutely" under way, said Abby Joseph Cohen, who heads the investment-policy committee of Goldman Sachs, the giant investment firm. The series of six interest-rate increases forced by the Federal Reserve between June 1999 and last May are not the only reason, she said. Consumers are also showing some signs of having temporarily satisfied pent-up demands. "If you bought a new car in 1999 or early 2000, you're not buying another new car; and if you upgraded your home by moving into another one over the past year or so, you aren...
...sell companies, float stocks and bonds, and trade in dozens of world markets at the same time. But those that do stand to reap huge profits. Which is why the last nine months have seen a juggernaut of billion-dollar acquisitions as Chase, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Goldman Sachs and other U.S. firms increase their global presence...

He has spent most of his career tilling the dusty fields of international-trade law, first at the Senate Finance Committee, then as general counsel to the U.S. Trade Representative under President Bush, and finally, for five years, in the London office of Goldman Sachs, where his intelligence, work ethic and low-key demeanor earned him plenty of money and admirers.

His wry sense of humor makes him a staff favorite (a policy briefing he was asked to give at the Republican National Convention--to Bo Derek--has been a source of jokes ever since). Bush likes to call his policy director "Yosh," and "just loves the weird connection...
...next deal may be coming soon. Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley managed to build international investment banking operations on their own; others may have to get out their checkbook, like Credit Suisse and UBS, if they want to catch up. Most likely to get swallowed: independent securities firms such as Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and J.P. Morgan. And at today's prices - Credit Suisse paid $90 for DLF shares that were going for $65 on Monday - that makes them must-swallows for investors...
