Lehman analyst and CNN.com

This guy better hope that no one finds out who he is:

And you wonder why they don't let analysts talk to the media!!

My favorites are:

1.) One investment-banking analyst spoke with confidence about his job security.

"In banking, we're pretty sure we're going to get bought - and if it's by Bank of America, they're going to value bankers highly," he said. "They've got C level bankers, and Lehman has A bankers."

2.) The investment-banking analyst insisted that employees remain loyal to Fuld.

"Sure, we wish he had done what Jamie Dimon did," he said, and steered the firm away from exposure to subprime mortgages. "But he's in the office, working just like everyone else."

3.) The analyst added that he'll be laboring into the night, hoping to impress his future bosses, whoever they are.

But many of his co-workers, he said, will be otherwise occupied: "Everyone's out drinking right now."

I can't even make this stuff up...
