Abhijit Chakrabortti, Morgan Stanley's chief global and U.S. equity strategist, apparently quit the House of Mack this afternoon. No word on where he's headed.

Isn't Byron Wien at Pequot? Maybe there.

I doubt Pequot. They just cut around 30% of their staff over the last few months.

name too long, didn't read.

he's going to try to launch a fund, target 1bn at launch (he will team up with ex-UBS "strategist" Ed Kerschner), will settle for 400mm, with which he will put up -40% in his first year, betting on finance, real estate, and red wiggler jelly worms
at the end of year 1, he will shut down, and go work with ron insana on a rival business network, to be launched by ted turner...this will be a fair and balanced network
that network will fold in 2012, and he will go teach hindi at Harvard, until he is deported by President Palin

No one will be launching a fund for many months, believe me.

Quit? Afraid not.

But, but didn't that guest on CNBC this mourning say that everyone in the money market funds was poised to get back into the market very soon?

He is headed to the unemployment office!
Maybe the guys at the link below would help him and others like him.
The say tha they know how you can profit from the crisis, because they say they have the tools.

brilliant dude.. MS will miss him

What do they need a strategist for who suggested financials had bottomed last year in July? Plenty of other clueless people, including "smartest" college endowments. I'm referring to you Harvard.
Posted by guest , Jan 27, 2009 8:25PM
A total hack. Highly paid talking head that was let go. Tes he wast at MS prior to JPM. At the start of 2008 had a 1650 target on the S&P. When you lose clients 40% you are out.

ed kirschner used to be the Chief Strategist at PaineWebber when I interned there. He would always end his daily notes w/some crazy logic tests/etc...the type of question you'd expect to see on a law school test.
anyone remember arthur cashin? cashin's comments over the squawkbox? whatever happened to that guy?
