Can anyone speculate on how this may effect analysts starting in 2007?
at BAS of course
I am not worried just kind of curious.
its just speculation, 0 impact.
but probably not the best time to be joining an ABS or structured products FI desk. Barlcays cleans up on those products, so my guess is the losses after the merger would come on the BAS side.
And BAS probably cleans up (compared to Barc) in everything else, so why would you say that losses come from the BAS side?
BoA made an unsuccessful bid in 03, not sure how this one will play out if a bid is made, as said this is just speculation
Barcap is pretty damn good in FI and commodities, especially in DCM.
we're both right. that is why it would make an appealing target - limited overlap of products/services.
