Posted by guest , Jan 22, 2009 12:26PM

cold!

Posted by guest , Jan 22, 2009 12:30PM

The analysts fired in December do not know the make-up of their guaranteed awards yet. They are scheduled to find out next week.

The bank can pay them in cash/stock/deferred cash, but when they are shitcanned on April 7th (after the 90 day consultation period), everything will vest.

So, most likely it will be a race to see if BAC stock goes to zero before April 7.

Let it be said, one more time but with feeling, BAC management is amoral and should never be trusted.

Posted by guest , Jan 22, 2009 12:32PM

@6. Thanks, @5 here. BAC has no incentive to pay them in cash or deferred cash. it is in BAC's best interest to pay them in stock. I realize they "do not know" yet - but in reality, don't you kinda know what side the bread is buttered on?

I agree that Kenny Boy Lewis and his band of retarded brothers from NationsBank have sucked donkey balls. But I'm not sure that Coulter and the SF based boys would have prevented all of this mess. It is hard to imagine them doing a worse job. George Costanza from Seinfeld could have done a better job even though his backround is in MLB and not finance.

"you rich guys" the attitude sickens me. as much as i think we're entering an abstemious age where the "Fabulous" and "Glamorous" culture will be a thing of the past (thank god...I was a banker but never splurged on anything more than a few nice suits and pairs of shoes; good riddance to 'models & bottles') i doubt the world will start rewarding worker drones that abstain from taking risk over entreprenuers and risk-seekers.

48, bite it. All this harping over "taxpayer dollars." News flash - The guv'mint wasn't going to give those dollars back to you, they were going to spend it on things. Propping up the economy, it turns out, is the highest and best use of spending right now. Perhaps if not for the economic crisis, the government would have more to spend on, say, Arbor Day. But they still wouldn't give the money to you. So the real question becomes: would you like the economy to function, or would you like us to plant a tree?

I already have my state dept contract for landscaping and a desert tulip patent. Once Obama withdraws from camel country, I'm going to conquer on a fucking golden calf. And if Obama gets shot before that time Jim Rogers assures me that it will soon be cheaper to make clothing out of tulips than cotton, anyway.
