Rochdale's Dick Bove issued a research note following Obama's newest bank regulation proposal. The controversial banking analyst believes that Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) will in fact benefit from the President's proposal and told investors to buy the stock, rather than sell.

"Banks with large deposit bases have distinct advantages in certain sectors of the market. If the banks are told they cannot use deposits in this fashion in the future, it 'levels the playing field' for companies like Goldman Sachs."

Bove's comments may be causing a slight uptick in shares of Goldman in the last few minutes of trading. The stock is now coming off session lows but is still down 4.6% to around $160.10. Shares of Goldman traded as low as $156.77 today.
