Bess - how much fun will it be to have Dickie Fuld as your desk assistant? If he is going to be in front of clients, you'll need to insist he gets his eyebrows waxed.

Can you change the Clusterstock's format? There's too much going on and it's annoying to look at..

I know Shafir. Total egomaniac, even by investment banking standards.
Posted by guest , Sep 18, 2008 5:08PM
Carney's known sympathy for criminals manifests itself in odd ways.
Hire Anal_yst, Bess.

Posted by guest , Sep 19, 2008 2:38AM
If that's that the case, why doesn't DB buy Lehman and WaMu so JC will stay? And if you can wait a little longer you may even get GS too. We need a guy like JC here.
