Bankers committing suicide:

Here's my advice to any banker contemplating suicide:

Sell the house in the Hamptons
Put the kids in public school
Get a job as an orderly in a children's hospital

It's better than hitting the pavement at terminal velocity.

Wells Fargo has done better than most; BAC, C tend to do much worse than average. I was noting the stock price past 10 years. WSJ noted that on 5 years, but both are true Even worse, all the big bank losing lawsuits.....
