>>>Morgan Stanley cut 1,500 jobs this week<<< Notice when the news came out???? After the close on Friday. Way after the close. You know....so that the important people were already out in the Hamptons - those who can still go there that is. Any coincidence that it was OpEx Friday??? I have been soooo waiting for an end to this bear market rally. That may be a sign that it is ending. How are you going to grow earnings when you just cut 10% of your staff??? Doesn't sound east to me. How are you going to grow owners' equity when you might be writing down .....30% .... of your investment assets??? You still might be able to make X% because you are sharp, but now you are making X% on only 70% of what you used to keep in the vault. I know. I know. You are borrowing from Ben at 0% and lending at 7%. OK. How could I be so stupid.
