Morgan Stanley to Cut Bonuses 10-30%

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-09/morgan-s…

CEO James Gorman said last month,"... Wall Street must fix a culture that contributed to the financial crisis by idolizing individual employees and giving them incentives to take outsized risks"

We have heard that rhetoric before, however now someone is actually acting on it. No MS bankers are going to go hungry, so will this cause other banks follow? Do you believe that this is a move in the right direction for the industry?

 

If this was any other bank I might give it some thought, but MS is having a difficult time, especially in S&T. 62% of revenue going towards bonuses in 2009, if anything MS is coming back down to the industry average rather than going below it.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

What happened to their S&T business?

The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

Their fixed income unit stunk up the place

I gather this has been a longer term trend - not re-risking back in 09.

What happened?

The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
