Shares of Goldman Sachs (GS ) gained as much as 1.2% in early morning trading Monday, just one day before the investment banking behemoth is scheduled to release its latest quarterly earnings results. Investors will hope Goldman’s results continue the strong trend for the finance sector, with commercial banks like JPMorgan Chase (JPM ) , Citigroup (C ) , and Bank of America (BAC ) already impressing.
Bank of America rounded out the major consumer & investment hybrid banks with its new report on Monday morning. The company posted better-than-expected earnings and total revenue growth of 4%. These results were buoyed by 38% growth in equity trading income.
Bank of America’s strong equity trading revenues echoed a similar trend witnessed by JPMorgan and Citigroup, which reported revenue growth of 26% and 38%, respectively, in this segment. It appears that fresh volatility in global stock markets has inspired busier activity in these divisions.

Gold. The rise in gold looks solid. I'm currently long the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) . Lackluster Banks. We're seeing disappointing action in the financials. However, I continue to buy them. I'm long Bank of America (BAC) , Citigroup (C) , JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) , although I'm shorting Goldman Sachs (GS) .Lastly, with S&P 500 closing at 2,706, the downside risk relative to the upside reward seems to argue in favor of maintaining a net-short exposure.

New York (AP) -- Four more deaths have been linked to a national food poisoning outbreak blamed on tainted lettuce, bringing the total to five.
Health officials have tied the E. coli outbreak to romaine lettuce grown in Yuma, Arizona. The growing season there ended six weeks ago, and it's unlikely any tainted lettuce is still in stores or people's homes, given its short shelf life. But there can be a lag in reporting, and reports of illnesses have continued to come in.
