What the death of the investment bank means for Wall Street

什麼會是投資銀行的死亡對華爾街的意義呢？

THE radical overhaul of Britain’s financial sector in 1986 was

dubbed the Big Bang. The brutal, unplanned reshaping of

Wall Street might be better described as the Big Implosion.

ET:

I don’t really know or wanna to understand what the collapse

of those IB means for Wall ST. But I know what it means to

my best school buddy~

His dream is always to stay at banking for 3 yrs in tw then

back to US for MBA then step in IB. And now I am afraid his

dream will never come true.

I guess he should least feel happy that he hasn’t stepped in

that industry yet or he would be as miserable as those spoiled

investment bankers right now. But it is also very sad that his

dream will never be fulfilled.

One analogy, if tw one day is united by china, those kids who

dream to be president one day in the future would be very

sad too…

I can only assume cos I never wanna work in IB or

be president.

1986年英國財金界的理性重整被稱做BIG BANG大爆炸（向外）

華爾街粗暴無預警的大改造則比較適合被稱做大內爆（向內）

文章長到我今天沒時間詳讀  ∵下午要回HQ報告很不完備的財務分析

雖然我不清楚IB倒光對華爾街的影響

不過我很清楚IB倒光對親愛的學弟的影響  他的第一志願就此消失……  

他本來計畫的在BANKING忍三年  回美國拿MBA再找IB的工作

這麼完美的人生計畫就此需要重修大修

真不知應該替他感到開心還是難過

開心還好還沒踏進去 不然會像現在那些過太爽的分析師一樣惶惶終日

難過在  人生的第一志願從此消失  連踏入的機會都不再有

我想我應該為他哀悼一番 

畢竟  哪天如果台灣被統一了

我猜想那些從小志願要當總統的人一定非常痛苦

我也只能猜想  因為我從不想進IB  也不想當總統  哈～
