When CLSA abruptly deprived Mike Mayo of his longstanding position as Wall Street's official shit-stirrer, he took about fifteen seconds to grieve, declared himself a “free-agent analyst” and continued pursuing his art in an unofficial capacity. Even Jamie Dimon had to show the guy some respect – and on JPMorgan investor day, no less, which Mayo had come to crash.

But showing up stag to shareholder confabs doesn't exactly pay the bills, so Mayo has turned to the final redoubt of so many financial minds before him: a CNBC column. Now, we don't know the pay – nor if there was any, actually – but evidently the world's most trusted name in business news is willing to devote some digital column-inches, at the very least, to stuff that won't exactly surprise Mayo's fanbase: a polemic against Citigroup.

The guy now known as “Outspoken Bank Analyst” is just digging through his back catalog for his CNBC debut. The column – Here are my questions for Citi management – reads like a best-of record more than a set of genuinely new material. Telling the CEO how to run the bank that once personally ostracized him? Check. Questioning the company's ever-elusive financial targets? Check. Opining about who the chairman should or shouldn't be? Check. Tutting about executive pay? Hell yeah.

Keep on keepin' on, Mike.

Dick Parsons Actually Gives Mike Mayo What He Wants

Is Mike Mayo the most powerful man on Wall Street, able to bend CEOs and bank chairmen to his will with the greatest of ease? If you'd asked us days ago we would have said "Well he does have a varsity analyst jacket but eh." Today? The answer is we have no idea but Dick Parsons is certainly helping make that case by not only complying with the demands of Mayo but doing so on his specified time schedule. [WSJ, Earlier: “I think that Parsons should leave in the next two weeks,” said Mayo on Feb. 23]

Mike Mayo Is Done Waiting For Everyone Around Him To Do Their Jobs

Because he's had some previous success putting bankers on deadlines for complying with his demands and because he has had it up to here with financial regulators and the companies they supervise, both of which have been dragging their heels since Dodd-Frank was passed, CLSA analyst Mike Mayo appeared on CNBC today to issue a message: The time for thumb twiddling is over. Move your asses, NOW, or he'll move them for you. Regulators need to write new financial services rules and banks need to get back to banking, CLSA analyst Mike Mayo told CNBC’s Squawk on the Street. “It’s been two years since Dodd-Frank was passed,” Mayo said. “If you’re the regulators, get these laws written, if you’re the banks, at some point you have to play the ball where it lies. You need to get back to the business of banking.” Mayo said there should be “no more excuses.” Everyone understand or does he need to enunciate? Yes? Okay: play the ball where it lies, you useless cocksuckers! If it's in the water, roll your fucking khakis up and do something useful for once in your pathetic fucking lives. ‘No More Excuses’ from Banks or Regulators: Analyst [CNBC] Related: Mike Mayo Suggests Citi Chair Dick Parsons Be Gone In A Fortnight, Or Else
