<Morgan Stanley misses estimates> I thought for sure you were pulling my leg - LOL! Total net revenues grew 18 percent to $6.3 billion, driven by a 43-percent gain in revenues from trading stocks and bonds. Investment banking revenues, which are largely from fees for helping companies to sell stock and advising on mergers, slipped 3 percent to $1.2 billion. Credit card services net income from Discover was up 10 percent to a record $222 million. I can't wait for those trading gains to go away - then the dung-heap that's left should be pretty well decimated. BC
