Possibly kassam BUT if so, someone will pick up a bargain. After all, other Investment firms are making money. So, the question for me is why can't BARC IB ?

Well , the IB said they couldn't make enough profit because the market wasn't volatile enough. If they can't make a profit in this market, frankly they don't deserve to be in business.

Staley has been saying that for a few years kassam. Meanwhile we are still waiting. I suspect pressure from Bransom may encourage Staley to move quicker than he had planned though. Let's not forget, Tiger are also in the frame.
