So is this a BUY, SELL or HOLD on Morgan Stanley?

It's a short on Morgan Stanley. But, like watching a gun fight between Jack Bauer and the bad guys, best to be watching this from the safety of your living room on television, than to actually be on site. It's safer that way.

As someone close to the fire, the down mood on Morgan is bull. They may indeed be forced to sellout but it is because of short selling and panic and thats the story. It is a very solid company with the most transparent books on Wall Street. The SEC lets the short sellers run wild and sink good companies - they have 180 billion in cash but this is what happens when people panic and the SEC does nothing.
