    @1 it's not a new layout, it's temporary for some skin (ad) they're running. this is the first I'm seeing it as well...say whatever you want about it here but I don't want to see every post for the rest of the day threadjacked by discussions of the genius of this beautiful/non-eyesore.

    @9 hi there. occasionally we do stories that don't actually have a link to finance but we make one up because they're amusing. it's the dead of august. you should consider lightening up.

    @8 " Cruz has hired a number of former Morgan Stanley staff, including Philip Newcomb, who was co-head of interest rates and currencies. He is chief operating officer at Voras in New York. In London Voras has hired David Irving, who was co-head of the European mortgage trading desk at Morgan Stanley, and Justin Worrall, who ran the bank's European residential mortgage-backed securities structuring and analytics group. The pair had previously set up a boutique advisory firm together called Tenbank. The Hong Kong office is led by Jialin Liu, who previously ran Morgan Stanley's Asian sales and trading business. "
