Goldman Sachs vs. J.P. Morgan vs. Morgan Stanley - Current Situation

Hey Guys,

lets have a discussion about the Elite 3 Bulge Brackets. What is the current ranking between them regarding deal flow as well as prestige. I know that in the past it was clearly GS, MS and then JPM.

Nowadays I think JPM is clearly in front of MS and perhaps on the same level as GS?
