Joy! Geoffrey Raymond, the greatest artist of our time, has chimed in with a timely portrait of Richard Severin Fuld. The piece is titled "I am Spartacus" and will be on display in front of Lehman Brothers starting today through the rest of this week. Per usual, Raymond is inviting various passersby to take a few minutes to jot down anything they want to get off their chests regarding matter of The Gorilla and what may or may not have been accidental infanticide (it's a long shot, but he could've rolled over it in his sleep, which happens). This should actually be pretty cathartic for the employees who've not had the opportunity to express their thoughts on the matter to Fuld's actual face, since he's yet to address anyone about anything.
Erin Callan, Come On Down!

Word is that MS and GS are in talks for a merger? Can anyone confirm or deny the existence of such jibba jabba?

GS reports tomorrow morning.
Maybe a sign of how bad things are that they want to do something before then?

@ 4 exactly the opposite, einstein. if things were so bad, they'd be seeking a merger before reporting.
duh!

Geoffrey Raymond paints exclusively with mayo.

@ 6 that is exactly what i said - einstein!
Maybe things are that bad and hence instead of an earnings announcement we get a merger announcement.
So far GS has remained rather untouched by this crisis. If they suck tomorrow watch out below.

My bet is that Goldman BUYS a bank, not gets bought by one. Cannot see them doing merger, but outright acquisition that lets everyone know who the buyer and who the victim, I mean, seller is.
Morgan Stanley might do a merger though.

Merrill (MER) and Bank of America (BAC) To Fire 20,000+ (MER, BAC)
Sep 15, 08 9:46 AM
Merrill Lynch (MER) and Bank of America (BAC) say merger savings will total $7 billion. We estimate that this means at least 20,000 people will be fired.
Our Assumptions:
* $5 billion of the $7 billion is compensation costs (the rest is real estate)
* $250,000 average compensation per employee
Add in the Lehman axings too.

Fuld is a cocksucking egomaniac. Can he be sued by employees/investors in civil court for not fulfilling his fiduciary duty to preserve value where possible?
I'd like to see his bonuses clawed back:
