In October 2007 I became the most famous analyst in the world for initiating a sell call on this bank.

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.

We are the most Banky Bank, in the whole Banking Industry. We Bank, and we Bank hard. Sometimes our Banking isn't so good. Sometimes it Banks. But in the end, we'll be the ones laughing, all the way to the Bank.

Yes, well, when you head back to Mumbai and actually get the rising middle class in Nariman Point to pay 35 bounced check fees, then I'll believe in that strategy.
Until then, bottoms up on the yellow stuff.

There was an awkward pause on the phone. Blankfein had assumed that the Fed had pre-arranged the call. “Well, I’m calling you because at least some people in the world might be thinking that combining our firms would be a good idea,” he said. After another few moments of uncomfortable silence Pandit finally replied, “I want you to know I’m flattered by this call.”
Blankfein now began to wonder if Pandit was putting him on. “Well, Vikram,” he said briskly, “I’m not calling with any flattery towards you in mind.”

I dunno - I think the fact that
a) HSBC is definitely the most "global bank" (if for no other reason than the fact that the UK-based Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Corp splits functional management across two-and-a-half countries (and yes, idiots, I am only counting the city-state of hong kong as half a country))
and
b) the world isn't getting more global (google: trade protectionism)
and
c) that shittygroup is broke without its nearly broke governmental backer
mean that this guy really is a douché
