Laid Off? Sober?

There's another Pink Slip Party tonight. M1-5 (52 Walker Street, Tribeca), 5:30-8:30. Apparently there'll be 30 recruiters there, and alcohol.

I think "there'll be alcohol" would have sufficed at this point, no?

Asking people who have been laid off for charitable donations seems in poor taste. That's twenty bucks they can otherwise spend on some nice cream bond paper and Nigh Train.

Was there last week, and it was not exactly empty. Where, prey tell, on Stone Street were you that seemed empty enough to instigate such commentary?

@12 re: BNY...

Good people, systems, business model. Always has some good ideas for commission management and leveraging aresearch relationship with S&P helps them (they bought S&P's brokerage unit 4-5 years ago).

Lacks proprietary research, which hurts flows. Good luck.
