Wall Street - April 1999
September 22, 2008
(from today's Guardian, in the UK)
The concept of a Wall Street investment bank was in its death throes today as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs succumbed to a collapse in confidence in their financial stability by converting themselves into lower risk, tightly regulated commercial banks.
