Goldman_logo125.pngThings may have looked rosy for Goldman Sachs & Co. (NYSE: GS) shareholders on Monday when its Q1 earnings blew away estimates and management green lit a $5 billion stock offering; but things quickly turned south for those that jumped in early on Tuesday.

The oversubscribed offering priced at $123 a share at 9:00am on Tuesday, but had fallen below that by midday, tumbling to a $115.11 close. With demand high, Goldman was also able to exercise the offering's over allotment option and pocket another $750 million. But with the stock down 11.5%, subscribers of the offering and over allotment lost a combined $368.8 million right off the bat. - George White
