As a public company, Goldman Sachs will have the financial strength and strategic flexibility to continue to serve our clients effectively as well as to respond thoughtfully to the business and competitive environment over the long term.

I have great, great confidence in our capital markets and in our financial institutions. Our financial institutions, banks and investment banks, are strong. Our capital markets are resilient. They're efficient. They're flexible.

We believe that Wit Capital is both an attractive investment for Goldman Sachs and an important part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the Internet and other new technologies in our business.
