Goldman rises after posting fourth-quarter results

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) rose 3.8 percent to $69 in premarket trade on Tuesday after the bank posted its fourth-quarter results.

The company posted a net loss of $2.12 billion, its first as a public company, hurt by the plunging value of many of its investments. Still the results beat some estimates, which pinned the expected loss as high as $2.5 billion.
