Raymond James/Stifel bidding on Morgan Keegan

Hey guys just saw this article.

http://www.memphisdailynews.com/news/2012/jan/10/…

Curious what people thought about how this might affect the investment banking landscape? I know neither are huge firms, but they are pretty reputable. I know Ray Jay has been acquiring banks for awhile now. Just thought it was interesting.

unknown4everlol no stifel has been in talks with them for a few months now

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
 

Stifel also made a significant recent investment in Miller Buckfire that could lead to an acquisition down the road.
