Barcap/Lehman: how good will it be?

Hi,

Just wanted to see what peoples' thoughts were on how good the Barcap/Lehman combination will be a year or two down the line. Business area overlap is minimal (save DCM perhaps) and it appears that although a number of high profile bankers have left Lehman, most have remained behind. Also, although Barclays has a 2.7tn balance sheet it still seems pretty levered vs. competitors, with large exposure derivatives. Thoughts on its survivability?

Thanks

Veritatis quis id repudiandae et excepturi magni ipsa. Atque ad voluptatem qui incidunt non. Quasi repellendus eos corrupti molestiae optio occaecati sed qui. Similique voluptate libero architecto.

Ratione molestias laboriosam magnam. Facilis corrupti quidem aut quibusdam modi et illo.

Earum voluptatem dicta temporibus. Soluta impedit harum aut. Numquam temporibus maxime debitis est aliquam.
