Vikram Pandit held one of his famously inspiring town hall meetings earlier and apparently repeated at several points that the split is “strictly managerial” and will not, he repeated, will not “create separate entities.”

was it a good meeting, bad meeting format?
Too Panditische, did not read.
and then, he came to my lawn, and he kicked my dog
Please ban @4.
@4 I wont check out the site on principal
Agreed with 5/6; if you can’t maintain basic interwebs “ettiquite” (and the bar is set pretty low, esp on DB) then your site, no matter how inspiring, is not worthy.
The 4 stages of Hindu life:
brahmacharga – school years – grow and learn
grhastha – marriage, family and career
vanaprastha – turn attention to spiritual things

sanrgasu – abandon world to seek spiritual things
I hope when they are splitting the managers they use an Axe.
Yes, Bess, managerial for now…. Think of the new Citi Holdings as the available for sale articles at the Saks store window, except imagine Saks is engulfed in flames.
And, would you go out with me? Pretty please?
I can’t really wrap my head around just what this ‘paper-split’ is supposed to accomplish.
Flushing half of two turds seems roughly equivalent to flushing one full one.
5th and final stage:
chamuck chamuck oolou – get your bling on.

Guess we were all right. It was a shitty bank.
Pretty sure the title of this post says it all
You just have to understand it in its quantum sense. It’s just like the two-slit experiment. The assets pass through both sides of the bank until you try to value them, then they end up on one side or the other depending on the amplitudes. Simple.
Things are tough for con men and business people. Most people are on to them.
EP – I prefer to think of our favorite cat. There’s a toxin locked away in each security, but it’s not until you open them that you know if they’re actually worth anything.
Moral of the story: don’t open the box.
I dramatically underestimated the intelligence of readers here – also impressed that Citi inspired Schrodinger and constructive interference metaphors. Well done.
Sounds like EP watched the excellent PBS episode of ‘Nova: Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives’ about Hugh Everett and his son Mark Oliver Everett (better known as E, the leader of Eels).
The truth is more embarrassing. I was dedicated to studying theoretical physics at the graduate level but I just couldn’t take the personalities anymore so I bailed on the program.
Oh, just by the by, speaking of Everett, I’m a certainly an MWI advocate.
@21 Woah. You couldn’t handle the undergrad physicist personalities, so you switched to finance??

It was the grad students, actually, that sent me screaming into the darkness. But, that’s another story.
