Lehman Bros. RIP; Merrill, Meet BofA; ??AIG??
Pete Peterson, former head of Lehman Brothers, co-founder of Blackstone, and secretary of commerce under Nixon, described this weekend's events on Wall Street with what almost amounts to understatement: "My goodness. I’ve been in the business 35 years, and these are the most extraordinary events I’ve ever seen."
So "Adam Smith, Esq." has to ask you all: What will this mean for your firm, and for our industry?
We'll report back on the results after a suitable sample of you have spoken. (You may choose one or more than one response.)
