consensus is that Goldman and Morgan will be merging with commercial banks.
Wells Fargo is the only AAA and Buffet loves it (Berkshire Hathaway has a huge stake). Does anyone think his $5bn stake in Goldman foreshadows a merger?
And what about MS? They tried with WaMu last week and it didn't go through (thankfully). I've heard a lot about Wachovia picking them up. Thoughts?
