jd.jpgIt’s widely known that Jamie Dimon’s been jonesing for a big acquisition for some time and, according to our semi-credible sources’ quasi-credible sources, Bear Stearns might just be the fix. While there’s been some whispering on the Street that Dimon could be eyeing Washington Mutual Inc., we’re told that Bear’s issued a firm-wide hiring freeze as a result of Dimon’s imminent shopping spree and Bear’s overtures. Know something we don’t? You can find us in our usual haunts. On a related note, Carney and I watched Heathers three times this weekend. (His idea).
