📈  $GS Trading Fortress vs "Normalization"
Pre-market Wed | $9.68-9.82 EPS | $13.53B revenue
Everyone expects trading to "normalize."

Here's why they're wrong:
Q2 Trading Revenue (FICC + Equities):
Expected: $7.5B
Historical avg: $6.2B
Q1 peak: $8.9B
That's still +21% above normal.

Policy volatility = structural revenue advantage
$70B alternatives fundraising = fee stability
16.5x P/E vs 12x historical = execution required
