Best Trading desk at Merrill Lynch

Was wondering if anyone had any insight on the strongest FICC desks in EMEA.

Also if anyone could shed light on their Special Situations group that would be great, is this group actually investing bank capital?

Many Thanks

Yup, liked people he met in both divisions, but they were all trying to sell him pretty hard.

Credit is BAML's strong point, but of the two options I would say mortgages. Plain equities as a whole is not where you want to learn to trade in my opinion ---too liquid. However, I'm not really familiar with the equity space so ignore me...

Do people look at P/E for equities like credit uses leverage??? always wondered...
