Still preliminary talks stop scaring people

This deal will never happen...Wachovia is in too much shit as is....

I can see HSBC being interested however.

"I kept browsing, and in the corner of the room, I saw a guy dressed up as what definitely appeared to be a massive turd—a really big piece of shit. “Peter,” I asked. “What’s that guy?”

He shrugged his shoulders, chewing foie grass. “People have been guessing all night man, and no one’s gotten it,” he informed me.

I was determined to figure it out.

I stopped walking, having had a random epiphany. “Pump and dump?!” I reflected excitedly about The Turd. That was definitely it.

I quickly hunted him down and presented my hypothesis. He said nothing and shook his little shit head “no.”

Right as we were getting to the door, I saw The Turd, and he was talking to an older Black man with an axe sticking out of his head.

Suddenly, it clicked.

“Wachovia!” I burst confidently from across the room, pointing at him with my index finger.

Both The Turd and Stan O’Neal turned and sent back congratulatory looks. They nodded their heads in unison, smiled, and gave me four, big shit-eating thumbs ups."

..how the mighty have fallen.

Cornelius, that is hilarious, wrong, and despicable all at the same time. Mostly though, its hilarious.

someone needs to stop these fucking short sellers that are bringing MS and GS's stock price down!!

Seriously. Why the fuck did the SEC stop the new naked rule last month?

Morgan Stanley + Wachovia

yuck.

Morgan Stanley + Wachovia

yuck.

possibly Citic, also heard HSBC may be looking

I got laid of from Lehman, so I've quite the spare time. When I first heard of it, it was so early that when I googled it, nothing came up, but now there are some sites talking about it.

I hope morgan stanley and wachovia merge.

haha MS, see you later

wouldn't the house of morgan more appropriately refer to JPM?

CNBC just put "Morgan Stanley Is in Talks with China for Fresh Funds" as headline. I guess the deal didn't go through.

did u guys see donald trump talking on larry king, his view sounded pretty bleak, not to say he knows a lot about the economy

you guys think this will help slow down/stop Morgan's slide>

CNBC: US SEC Tightens Rules on Short SalesTopics:SEC | Stock Market

U.S. securities regulators tightened rules on traders who profit from stock declines as shares plummeted Wednesday on fears of a global credit crunch.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission action follows a brief emergency rule this summer that was aimed at curbing abusive naked short selling in 19 major financial stocks.

Under a measure that takes effect Thursday, short sellers and their broker dealers must deliver securities by the close of business on the settlement date, three days after the sale.

But with stocks falling, lawmakers and banking executives kept up their pressure on the investor protection agency to further curb short selling.

MS is in talks with CITIC now.

where is the god damn uptick rule when you need it!
