Goldman May Get ‘Windfall’ If It Buys MF Global, Bove Says

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is among firms that could gain by buying part or all of MF Global Holdings Ltd., said Richard Bove, an analyst at Rochdale Securities LLC.

“Goldman could benefit from MF Global’s plight,” Bove said in a note today. “One might argue that Goldman is over capitalized and that it has too much liquidity. Buying some or all of MF Global might create the opportunity to make a windfall profit.”
