Trying to find an old WSO post - predicting 2008 crash

I remember reading the ominous post months before the crash in '08 and how the street sentiment at the time was nerve-wracking. Was trying to look for it, but didn't remember the username or the title.

Would be great if perhaps Andy could do it as a Throwback Thursday and bring it up again? With recent liquidity concerns in the bond market, perhaps it would be great for people to read that post..

Thanks,

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“I wanted to share some feedback on my sessions with Andre. Andre has deep knowledge of investment banking, and he approaches every topic very strategically. His guidance while I was preparing my interview stories was especially valuable. One thing that stood out was that even a week after our previous session, Andre remembered me and everything I had shared about my background and goals. That meant a lot to me and made our sessions much more productive. He is also very direct. He tells me clearly what works and what doesn’t, which is exactly the kind of feedback I need. At the same time, he is funny and witty, so working with him is a lot of fun. Our sessions almost always run longer than scheduled, because Andre makes sure we cover everything properly before we wrap up. He is very dedicated and very patient, and I really appreciate the time and effort he puts in. I leave every session with Andre feeling clearer and more confident about my preparation. Thank you, Andre.”

Best post in that thread:

"madgames"
" Bondarb" ...it is very possible that a big name like Bear or Lehman could flat go out of business like Drexel Burnham did in 1990.

I don't see Lehman or Bear going out of business anytime soon. You are mistaken there.
