Did these folks somehow miss Morgan Stanley CFO Ruth Porat’s comment about the bank not penetrating (her word not mine) their so-called clients/customers with enough products? Maybe that will ease up now that she is moving to Silicon Valley—Google. Not!

I only wish that all the so-called clients/customers of these so-called advisors and their so-called firms knew what these greedy grubbers were doing to them. What a travesty of justice.

My gosh, this is nothing new. The formerly innovative Merrill Lynch had similar promotions in the mid 1990’s.
