What if we told you that just when the Housing Bubble was beginning to unravel over a decade ago and the majority of Wall Street brokerage firms would face insolvency as a result of the all the toxic debt they had on their books, that there was one firm that had the foresight to not only avoid the bad debts but to take the other side of Wall Street's bets? Clearly, one would assume that the stock of this company would not only have been a good investment relative to its peers but to the broader market as well. Well, that hasn't exactly been the case. The stock we are talking about is Goldman Sachs (GS).
