Morgan Stanley is hands-down the most HOOD firm on The Street right now
Alright, enough of our Crips vs. Bloods debate, I think we can all safely agree that Morgan Stanley is the most gangsta firm on The Street right now. Whether this is just an egregious week of PR misfortune for the House of Gorman or if this is just how they hustle on the reg remains to be seen, but...

Jim Rogers on China and BofA
Some days I feel like ranting about markets, some days I let other do my dirty work. Since I don't have the funds that Jim Rogers does, I can cash the ego bonus of him echoing my sentiments on a few key issues. The only bad thing about what is shaping up to be a beautiful day, is that I can't embed...
Big Week for Bank Earnings
We've got a big week for earnings this week, guys. Bank of America , Citigroup , Goldman Sachs , Morgan Stanley , and Wells Fargo all report this week. In fact, we're only a couple hours away from Citigroup's release and, the way the pre-open futures are backing off, it might not look very good....

Tumbleweeds in Trader Town

Yesterday's New York Times ran a piece on the Wall Street slowdown that is getting a lot of attention.

Hedge Funds profit from Volcker
As the populist bore that is financial regulation continues to trudge along, we have early results of predictions most of us made months ago. As proprietary trading by the major investment banks winds down, hedge funds are set to pounce on the available glut of trading talent. In fact, the same...

Alice in Morgan Land
