Goldman Sachs in talks for $8 billion deal
Article Abstract:
Goldman Sachs and Co has revealed that it has entered negotiations to acquire Spear Leeds and Kellogg for up to $8 billion. The company chose to purchase Spear Leeds and Kellogg because it is a major player in the tech- laden Nasdaq market. This complements Goldman Sach's goal of becoming one of the largest specialist firms of the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, company officials revealed that they can better compete with Merrill Lynch, which acquired Nasdaq market maker Herzog Heine Geduld, if they combine forces with Spear Leeds and Kellogg.
