Bloomberg has the story (we are lacking a link) on Goldman now floating the trial balloon of raising another $5B in equity to make up for closing out TARP:

March 27 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. may sell around $5 billion in stock if it returns the government’s $10 billion in Troubled Asset Relief Program money, said David Trone, an analyst at Fox-Pitt Kelton Cochran Caronia Waller.

“Our original view was that Goldman would not raise equity to offset the TARP payback,” Trone wrote in a note to investors today. “Now, however, with their stock up around $110, we wouldn’t be shocked to see a $5 billion or so raise.”

What's the matter, boyz, don't like actual strings being attached? Or are you more scared of the pitchforks and torches?
