yup, WSJ picked it up, i think this should be on bloomy by now

This is an unbelievable year for the financials. I cannot even comprehend what the hell is happening out there. Very historic

review of dead dogs: CFC done FRE, FNM BSC WM LEH MER winners = JPM, BAC??? in b school, all the profs got it right, and told me 08 would be a year of mergers. those dudes were right what is up with goldman? just another hedge fund masquerading as IB? any chance we see some selling tom here?

I think WFC also could be considered a winner!!

If you view raising capital to be pay their dividend as good, then go ahead and buy them. WFC is not as bad as the others, but I wouldn’t call them a winner the way that JPM is (BAC still has a bunch of losses from CFC, but will be a winner if the MER merger goes through).

wow, this is historical what is happening in the financial market … three IBs loosing their indepence. So this leaves Goldman’s …the job market is changed forever here in New York. feel bad for the interns and newbies there, little experience … crash and burn Now AIG is pushed to retrench too, this will be followed by other insurance companies …the impact of the job market … cant believe this is happening… new world …

hmmm is GOOG still hiring :)?
