Goldman Sachs Buyback Rumors

Today the chatter is about Goldman Sachs. People say lots of things, but today they are saying that Goldman will announce a major stock buyback tonight after the market closes. They're even putting a number on it: $8 billion. Of course, the people saying this are in no condition to know and last week they probably would have told you that Lehman Brothers would be worth $2 on Monday. (But a couple weeks before that they were right about Bear Stearns.) Make of it what you will.
A side note: it's kind of nice to report on bullish rumors about an investment bank. When was the last this happened?
Goldman Sachs didn't comment on this because they wouldn't anyway...
