Investment Banks as Commercial Banks

Decided to provide a critical analysis of investment banks as commercial banks


Goldman Sachs/JP Morgan: Largely seen as the lead dog in the game, hated by few, reliable lead standing in their game. Old as fuck.


Morgan Stanley/Bank of America: Seen as the number two to most people, high quality bank with great credit and bonus plans, cool bank, used to be Italian (or something)


Credit Suisse/Credit Agricole: French, no one fucking cares; not even a commercial bank (who put it on this list?)


Barclays/HSBC: British origin, probably gonna take over the world if you let them


Citi/Citi: No one likes Citi, me and my homies hate Citi


Wells Fargo/Tobin & Co. Consumer Division: just an absolute fucking mess


Centerview/Marcus: really cool, awesome, absolutely epic but widely unknown by most; dangerous to those who misunderstand it


That's it, will add more upon request

 

Credit Suisse/Credit Agricole: French 

The Swiss are gonna love you
