The promotion of these investment bankers to CEOs when as you note,"None of these six giant institutions was previously run by an investment banker," may actually be quite ominous.It may suggest that some may have already forgotten the painful events of 2008. The good news is that none of those you listed are from either JPMorganChase or the now defunct Lehman. “Tricks” are indeed what some of them used in their previous incarnation as investment bankers.We can only hope for all our sakes that the new “tricks” that they learn will include less reliance on fancy schemes that are more worthy of Ponzi schemers than of venerable banking institutions.
