Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley

[Pinnacle]

In light of the historic news about the conversion of these firms into commercial banks, what does that mean for their investment banking and brokerage operations? I'm wondering what will happen to all of those customers who use those services. When I heard this originally, I was thinking of who might purchase these parts of these companies should my hypothesis about them be true. Perhaps this is an opportunity for smaller firms to step up and absorb that market share now that the big dogs are out of the picture.

Penny for anyone's thoughts?
