Ever since the credit crisis began, investors have been hungering for as much detailed financial information as they can get about the strength of Wall Street's biggest investment banks.

That especially will be the case next week when Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. release earnings for the fiscal second quarters ended in May. Lehman already has announced that it expects to post a $2.8 billion loss, and investment-bank shares, along with other financial stocks, have taken a pounding in recent days.

The story (if you can access it) goes on to talk about how the data investors really need is balance sheet data, and that won't be released for a few more weeks after earnings.
