Overheard At Morgan Stanley

“Has anyone noticed that, at 8 dollars/share, MS’s market cap < Mitsubishi's investment ($8.9 billion v $9 billion)? Packing my desk now. You think they'd at least play re-runs of "Shogun" on the big screen outside of 1585, to make us more comfortable in our last hours."

Listen up, people. It doesn’t have to be this Last Days In The Bunker way. You want everything to be fine? You need to do two things. 1. Listen to Lloyd Blankfein when he says put a sock in it. and 2. Heed the the advice of the Central Bank of Jamaica.

    Wow $8 seems low, but it looks a lot better than the $2 for Bear or the $1 for Wachovia or the $0 for Lehman. It seems like Mack has to make a move today. And after that, GS will look like Target’s logo.

    Does Treasury have any Bloomberg terminals? Are they watching this carnage and realizing the whole financial system is about to collapse? Is that the ‘plan’?
    If they don’t do something to stabilize the banks now – like within the next hour – these declines are going to accelerate into the close because everyone will need to hedge their MS/GS exposure into the weekend.
    There is simply no confidence in the banking system because Paulson felt the need to bleed out the ‘moral hazard.’
    Well, guess what Hank, you are now witnessing a market bled of moral hazard where unsecured money rates are exceedingly high and banks can’t operate at even 10:1 leverage.
    The one thing that makes me smile is that GS will be out of business by next week.

    MUFG To Go Ahead With $9bn Morgan Stanley Investment
    TOKYO (Dow Jones)–Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (8306) plans to push ahead with its $9 billion investment in Morgan Stanley despite the prospect of immediate paper losses, said a spokesman for Japan’s biggest bank.

    @24 – best comment all day. Seriously, WTF are these rating agencies doing?
    And no, they absolutely cannont let MS and GS go BK. They f’ked it up with Lehman once; they better not do it again.

    You think it’s a good/funny/snarky that thousands of people are going to lose their jobs? Let’s see you tell me to my face. After that I’ll smear you into the hole in the facade of 23 Wall. Get read for the Ferdinando Nicola Sacco treatment bitch.

  36. Posted by guest | October 10, 2008 at 12:36 PM

    20/25 calm down. Take a minute please and think of all the blessings you have in your lives. I don’t mean things I mean people. It’s the people in your lives that matter, the things ultimately give very little real satisfaction but the people, the people make you smile unexpectedly, they make you know, even with all your “weird things” that they still love you, yes you, just you.
    So stop already and use those two brilliant minds to help yourselves and everyone else here.

    @34 et. al.
    I actually do think think it is good/funny/snarky that thousands of people are going to lose their jobs– as it applies to the some of the ibanks, MS, and the holy temple of GS. Granted I have friends there and they are good people in general but I also pressume they were smart enough to diversify.
    I didnt notice many comments on the board when Detroit was crapping out or ma and pa were going under vs. WallMart etc. Anyone who didnt see this coming was simply out of touch on a micro and macro scale.
    Anytime there is a signficant disparity (of wealth) in ANY economic system there is reversion closer to the mean–fortunately the only blood we’ve seen in this snap back is on our terminals.

    P.S. I’m more than happy to be the bookie on the fight, low juice/vig and all.

    I just want to say that it just seems awfully weird to me that on the night before the shorting ban is supposed to expire the rating agencies decide to downgrade MS and GS. I mean I am seriously not trusting anyone in this market. Do the agencies and the analysts have skin in the game so that whatever they say makes them money? This is beyond real today.

    The logic of this psuedo-quasi-cyber fight is spirling out of control; since I generously offered to make the book on the fight (as well as buy first round drinks)….to all the contenders; feel free to send me verification, counttrarian@yahoo.com as to A) who you are looking to rumble with if anyone and B)when if ever. Bonus points for photos so I can lay down proper odds. Photos will not be given out unless requested by sender.

    I’m still making seven figures and have my trading job. I’m actually happy people are losing their jobs on Wall Street, it makes me more valuable. So s*ck on this losers!
    If you don’t like my comment, yeah I’ll be at the fight as well, and I’ll take on anybody who has something to say!
    btw – i’m a 17th degree blackbelt former marine who played in the NFL and trained with bruce lee’s 4th cousin’s nephew and because both my parents are mixed i’m a charter member and related to the Italian, Russian, Indian, and Chinese mafia families.

    72 here
    1) fighting in front of 20 soldiers holding ak’s is a horrible idea. move it to hanover sq or something.
    2) girl, saki… not bad. screwing the jello shots and going for the brown-bagged scotch– more surreptitious.
    3) your wife called? thats what you are going to go with? Thats gayer than saying you will f*ck another dude’s ass. I mean, if you are going to talk shit, be factual. rather than “i will kick your ass” say “i would kick your ass if my wife would let me, but she won’t and I’m a bitch, so I won’t show up”. see, how hard is that?

    Oooh, it was good. Blood and everything. The Yale dude hit the other guy, then the other guy hit the Yale dude right back. Then they wrestled, that part was stupid. Rolled on the ground, both are hopeless at punching each other. Like girls.
    But then Yale guy kicked the other guy and well…there was crying. But then the cops came. Not real cops, security guards, so it broke up.
    Kinda fun, but they both need to work out.

    Everyone who lost your job, no worries. The Black Messiah will have a place for you, underwriting “Workers Bonds” to finance Third-World Socialism in your Wall Street sweatshops. You will all be welcome to share inadequate housing in the new, concrete “Obama Village” blocks to be built just outside of Newark, and you will have 2 weeks off every year to help gather the corn harvest for your meagre rations.
    Obama will Liberate you from the tyranny of Freedom. Obama will break the chains of Liberty once and for all.
