Goldman’s sellside research desk has traditionally been one of the most bullish on Wall Street, usually to the point of comedic and mind-numbing obstinacy, refusing to cut their cheerful economic outlook until the US is deep in a recession.

Which is why we were very surprised to read a note published by the bank’s Thematic desk this afternoon pitching the bank’s first short trade reco in a long time, one which when reading between the lines, is what Goldman is telling its top clients is the best way to hedge a potential crash.
