A bunch of lawyers from the big investment banks and a bunch of lawyers from the government getting together to decide how the banks will separate sales and research. Sounds like a pack of wolves and a pack of coyotes deciding how to manage sheep.

Here's an idea. Don't listen to ANY investment advice from Wall Street.

[Donald Stone]

Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, UBS Warburg, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Credit Suisse First Boston are all expected to send their general counsel or top lawyers.

The FIX is in !!!!

Let me guess, Jack Quinn (Marc Rich's attorney)will be making the necessary arrangements for all the "usual suspects"

I see there is a summit meeting in Washington D.C. of our top white collar organized crime syndicates which means our elected and appointed officials will be standing in line to receive corporate donations to make all this wrong doing go away.

Ironic that there is currently a request before a federal judge in New York asking that federal criminal indictments be brought against Goldman Sachs for alleged racketeering for offering assets bought from an alleged organized crime syndicate and then bundled into an IPO.

Wall Street is acting like cats covering up in a concrete litter box.

"The two sides are meeting as a single group for the first time. They hope to work towards a framework to separate research from investment banking that works for all of them."

..Hmm..."a framework...that works for all of THEM"....how about something that works for US!!....something that looks out for OUR interests as individual investors....

Good luck to everybody!!
