Do you feel that? The sound of nothing going on today? Here's something (that's 48 hours away from being) exciting (if you are a Morgan Stanley analyst on the summer cycle): Thursday is the big day. And for the rest of you: you get nothing! Just kidding. Your safe-ish for work news is after the jump.
See, it relates to finance because she's using an Apple product.

From what I've heard, they are actually paying the VPs at Taco Bell with money this year. Analysts and Associates still get paid in bean burritos though.

Do banks fund seperate bonus pools for analysts?
Or are these coming out of 2008 full year bonus pools?
If its a seperate pool, is this funded on a June to June cycle based on results during that period, or is it programmatic amount?
M&A and cap markets activity has been slow this year, and even 2nd half of last. So, it would seem this isn't funded based on that, unless its based on closed deals rather than new ones.
