Why does Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE: GS) earn so much money trading equities? The answer lies in a proprietary set of secret codes that Goldman uses when making their trades. In the first quarter of this year Goldman raked in $2 billion dollars from its equity trading and is the leading trader on Wall Street. Even the venerable JPMorgan Chase & Company (NYSE: JPM) only made $1.8 billion.
Now a Russian, named Sergey Aleynikov, who previously worked for Goldman is accused of stealing Goldman"s secret codes. These codes are the property of Goldman and enables them to do high speed and high volume trades in various stock and commodity markets.
