Also…I’m definitely not NASDy Newbie, although he was obviously inspirational for GP’s character.

You spelled 'too' wrong.  I appreciate your proactive inquiry, it demonstrates a willingness to grow.

Pissants take note.

Can you be a little more specific as to what you're talking about?

Reading comprehension is obviously lost on you.  If you can't identify who the sucker is in the room....the sucker is you.

Help me out here Joe, I'm having a hard time comprehending how someone could be so egregiously and uncompromisingly retarded.  When you get up in the morning....I mean afternoon, how do you gather the energy to face your wasted life?  I mean after the Bloody Mary and bong hit, how do you do it? 

Your story would be an inspiration to us all.

Actually before I pointed out to everyone what a horse's ass you are, I simply wanted to clarify what you were talking about.

My life is quite fine, thank you.

Oh, and I never have a Bloody Mary before lunch, except at the rare holiday brunch.  ;-)

Yeah, I should have guessed that the bong hit would do you fine. 

I may be a stud, but a horse's ass I am not.  Now, there are parts of me that resemble other areas of a horse's anatomy.

Having fun guys????!!!!  My tribute to all the forum trolls is done....I couldn't continue with the over the top asshole persona anymore....although I didn't get to post my 'crayon' paystub on the site indyone mentioned to prove that Grammar Police was a million dollar producer.  God, I really suck at the multiple persona thing, I was really hoping to get 'egregiously' ridiculous with GP's comments.

Anyway, sorry if I pissed anyone off sincerely....I was hoping to make it so stupidly over the top that it was an obvious spoof.  No harm intended to all the folks I truly respect on this forum (that includes you JoeDa).

You forgot to capitalize no.

.....nevermind.

Is my lack of respect the same for each and every wirehouse? Pretty much.

It's hard to respect wirehouses when firms such as Merrill and Morgan Stanley don't respect themselves enough to have a former broker in charge of their private client divisions. [/quote]

I think it would be nifty to have a former broker as the head of PC, otoh, I don't have any hostility towards GE just because Jeff Immelt never worked a production line...

Was Cayne at BCS ever a broker? I couldn't tell you. I'm not sure why ML put Gorman where they had him, but I'm certain why MS put him where he is, and that "ML-transfusion" he's doing is exactly what's needed. Could a fomer broker, much less one who came to age as a DW broker do that? I doubt it.

Payouts? Is the business model really fair and equitable?

Absolutely not. Let's look at fixed versus variable costs geographically:[/quote]

Am I to assume that BCS pays their people differently based on where they’re based?

Somehow I doubt it….

On the mutual fund scandals of the recent past, I have some very funny stories to tell about certain wirehouses but I will leave that for another time. [/quote]

Knock yourself out, there have been plenty of scandals in this industry and no one has had a monopoly on them.
