some more top notch reporting from cnbc dot com:
Financial giant Morgan Stanley
[MS 28.64 --- UNCH (0) ]
could be in focus after CEO John Thain confirmed he will be stepping down early next year. Though the move was widely expected, it likely will intensify speculation about the firm's future direction. Shares edged higher in premarket trading.
TD...while I rely on a number of news sources, I'm a bit disappointed that you never picked up on the fact that John Thain had moved to MS.
I thought Ken Lay was CEO?
They consult him regularly whilst polishing their crystal balls.
Goldman's 1050 SPX imminent. Looking for gold to close above $1004 and give a signal that it's going to the moon.
TD did you punch Liesmanns eyey out last night. It looks pretty bad
TD did you punch Lies Mann eye out last night. Good one less the shinner. Good make up if there is one under there
