While benefiting from a $10 billion government payment, Goldman Sachs executives sold nearly $700 million of stock after Lehman Brohters collapsed last September. During a comparable period a year earlier, Goldman partners sold less than $450 million in stock.

The bank was expected to report strong second-quarter earnings Tuesday based on rebounding trading profits.
