A friend of a friend's dentist's cat-sitter told us:
"UBS is evidently exiting the entire MBS business. Friend's mother just got a call saying that they were closing down the business and she would no longer have a job."
Luckily, if the rumor about the rumor is true, there's to be six months severance. But you know how cat-sitters are. Who knows if it's true.

They've already exited Munis, closed the energy desk and closing down fixed income prop desk. Wouldn't be a shock if they exited MBS. Was told by a poor bastard that still works there in fixed income that all those who are getting shot should find out by the end of next week. The goal is to make it a boutique so that they can sell it to some fool or spin it off down the road.
