How Do You See the Industry Heading if Bernie is Elected

Hi all,

I saw there was some discussion of this back in 2016 but since Bernie just entered the 2020 race, how do y’all see the state of IB headed if he wins the election this time around? He’s already mentioned goals of breaking up the big banks. What kind of effects would this have on investment banking in particular? Would there be a bunch of elite-boutique type firms? Curious what you guys think.

While it would suck for everything business if he or E. Warren were to win, I would imagine there would be significant backlash at midterm elections to the other side. So, the question is how much damage could he do if Dems have both sides of Congress for his first two years? Probably a lot.
