From the mailbag.

Heard a whole bunch of investment bankers were laid off from Cowen yesterday afternoon. Just in time for an unplanned end of summer vacation?

    Oh no, where will all of the Cornell and Hofstra grads get a job now?

    These may have just been made public, but were actually made weeks ago….

    Also from the rumor bag: Harvard Extension School’s MBA program receives a record breaking amount of applications.

    @2 I’ll kill you.

    In other notes, I am done for the week. My mother and I have rented a cabin in Vermont, so this anal_yst is getting laid. And by a woman!

    Cornell grads come on, we’re (undergrad, can’t speak for the johnson kids) at least on par with Jefferies or maybe even Citi.

    It is pretty clear that Cowen is on the ropes. Loses since 2006,questionable leadership, fading market confidence. Stock price below 4 bucks (haha). We hear the I Bank work environment is terrible. Taking out their young makes it very easy for me to root against them….they could be a very attractive penney stock:)
