Funny. Last year I remember asking banks (pure-plays) how they'll remain competitive with the universal model and while people remarked that it was a good question, I could sense that I was being scoffed at. Bankers have always thought themselves far superior to the commercial guys. Now look at what's happening... Absolutely crazy. If someone told me this a year ago I would've laughed in their face. Who knew that last August would set in motion a sequence of earth-shattering, history-making events?

 

I would honestly be surprised if I didn't see something similarly shocking occur within the next few weeks.
