Phil did such an awful job at MS- it would be unfortunate if he gets the opportunity to ruin a 2nd firm

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 9:44AM

Phil Purcell was one of the worst CEO I ever seen. I know this first hand when I worked at Morgan Stanley. This guy had no idea about investment banking and S&T businesses. He's only knew about private wealth management as an ex financial advisor. Despite the fact that MS based is NYC, he lived in Chicago and flew in private jet daily to work. He's a sort of the same breed as Cayne.

I think we should talk about how hot Amanda Drury is on CNBC and that Erin Burnett needs to be shown the door.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 9:52AM

Are they kidding about Purcell, he doesn't even like mayo!

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 9:56AM

Amanda Drury....YES

Wachovia needs to hire Amanda Drury as CEO

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 10:06AM

Amanda Drury has to go in bullet points:

-Australian accent hurts the ears
-She talks a lot and quickly, making more sounds than most, hurting the ears even further
-She's a Bloomberg emigrant
-She's Maria Bartiromo with a blond wig

you have all lost your minds if you think Drury is hot.

She's attractive in a Maria kind of way, but in no way hot.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 10:07AM

I'd like spread mayo all over Amanda.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 10:08AM

amanda drury looks like a total tramp. phil purcell, on the other hand, i would take home to mom.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 10:23AM

Drury looks like Sophia Loren would have if she did ATM pr0n.

For a laugh, type in Bove's office address in Lutz, FL into Google maps. Choose Street View.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 10:29AM

@ 10:24. That is because Bove has worked out of his house for years. Actually pretty sick if you ask me.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 10:34AM

Margaret Brennan should replace Erin. CNBC just needs to digitally make her taller / widen shoulders so that her head doesn't look as big.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 10:42AM

Why do most CNBC gals have gigantic heads: Betty, Eri, Margaret, the Asian chick that is not even marginally cute...

where did punk ziegel go?

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 11:46AM

Just a wild guess, but I don't think Mandy's collars and cuffs are a matching set.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 12:07PM

Ladenburg - That place is a joke, bunch of long island punks running a boiler room!

Why even listen to Bove with that name attached o his opinion???

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 12:25PM

@11:46 could just be hardwood floor so no need to match

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 1:02PM

It's all hardwoods these days. Haven't quite gotten used to it.

What would say for under 35 y/o.
85%??

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 1:28PM

Richard X. Bove may have a lot of knowledge about financial institutions, but where does he get off suggesting CEOs for major institutions? No one has said that he has any actual experience in management. I think it's the height of smugness and arrogance; but Bove has always struck me as smug and arrogant.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 2:23PM

as i have been saying every time dick X bove comes up, he is a crazy old coot.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 2:25PM

He has to be a crazy old coot to work at Ladenburg. It's a chop shop.

Posted by guest , Jul 02, 2008 7:51PM

shes got the same weird ass nose as bartiromo
