Are we not seeing disgorgement like we saw periodically through 2007 - 2008?

DB was one thing, but, anecdotally, a friend at a certain bb-bank described the quiet disappearance of his group.

I take it as an indicator as it seems to have the same latency and associated indicators as pre last-recesh. Banks trim as early as possible.

Am prepared to be educated.

@deeds

So not just brexit related????

What sort of group disappeared? That could be for a number of reasons.

"Am prepared to be educated." I have literally no idea what you mean here

also what areas have stable to increasing headcount in a recession? distressed debt research, efx,...??

US based multi-national bulge-bracket (sorry if bb confused), so no.

"What sort of group disappeared? That could be for a number of reasons."

Yes, agree.

""Am prepared to be educated." I have literally no idea what you mean here"

I mean 'i am prepared to be educated by the more experienced and the more informed.'

"also what areas have stable to increasing headcount in a recession? distressed debt research, efx,...??"

stellar question. I have no information on that...if not there, i suppose you have to get in, first, and time seems short...
