   Interesting — I’d think that the wealth management/private client business (aside from the tax stumbles they had earlier this year) is one of the only solid businesses UBS or anyone has left… why would they be selling?

   Why break up a franchise like this? The competition is consolidating (Edwards/Wachovia, Smith Barney/MS). Your thoughts smart people?

   @ 5 – That would disqualify me from answering but I’m guessing like the rest of the Birkenstock Brigade they might
   a) think the US is fucked
   b) will not agree to give up their secrecy laws after all and figure their clients might really enjoy visiting the Sprungli shop at ZRH.
   Hint from FT: Maurer gave up his S Class and is driving a Peugot.
