Just what we need. Morgan Stanley wants to do their part to drive up oil prices again. Didn’t they get some bailout money? We would have been better off, if they had just gone under.

They have not taken any direct government money, and any indirect money they may have gotten has been small. They have the best balance sheet among the major banks.

Morgan Stanley was in the first group of banks to get TARP money. They sold $10 billion of preferred shares to the Treasury.
