chooses – but yes, he’s definitely walking on egg shells
@1 – explain yourself.
@ 2 – Clearly Thain choosing to make an appearance on CNBC is a risky one, financials have been getting hammered, MER is down huge – last time I remember a bank CEO coming on CNBC and start muttering about capital levels was Alan Schwartz – and we know how that went. Which makes me wonder why exactly he agreed to come onto the show in the first place – especially to be grilled by Bartiromo. I would imagine it’s because out of all the banks, ML has seemed to be the most radio silent, and I guess the board thought that was a bad thing

@ 3,4,5 – clearly you are an idiot
@ 6 – well done

How simple would it be for the code that underlies this comment section to do a simple string comparison to avoid duplicates?
3,4,5 and 7,8,9 need to merge in order to survive
10 That is so nerdy (“code that underlies”, “simple string comparison”), I love it. Bet its gonna be a long time before you’re out of work.
@10
the DB staff is not too IT savvy. so to answer your question, it would be very difficult.
@#12
Actually I’m a hedge fund manager who spends most of his day coding.
@14
ask Bess what she would do to get it done for the site
@ 14 – back office IT does not equal “hedge fund manager”
16 Maybe the guys being facetious. Or its a quant fund.
@17 – or maybe it’s timmy sykes
@16
You are so in the know.
We manage $4B and I am majority owner.
@ 19 – you are the lamest fund manager ever. get back to work if you have so much money to take care of. gotta do something for that 2% mgmt fee, seeing as how there won’t be anything to take 20% of….
Bess,
He will understand 10′s post.
Bartiromo let him off easy. Another fluff-ball interview from CNBC.
They should just have a timer before they accept another comment from the same IP
@14,19: Hey – Prescott P. Hahn – good to hear from you.

@14, 19
not that i dont believe you, but just so you can get your story straight next time.
here in hedge fund fund world, hedge fund managers are partners not majority owners. majority owners are for the mcdonalds franchise.
I would MUCH rather deal with the double, triple, etc. etc. posts than have to read idiotic (excuse me for saying these) mayo and merging comments.
@26
The entity that manages the portfolios of the hedge funds and thus earns the management and incentive fees is a corporation, not a partnership.
Its so funny that the majority of comments on any topic are all made by a bunch of people with nothing to contribute other than “you’re an idiot” or how much they pull in – posts 3,4,5 we’re all mine – blame the mechanics of this site, and the not the OCD of my fingers.
All of you get back to work! I’m checking my “Roll Call” to make sure you were all logged in before 9am. If I find out otherwise there will be hell to pay!
