Wednesday was my twenty-something birthday and also my one year anniversary at “The Firm”. To celebrate, boss #2 took me to McCormick and Schmicks for lunch. As we were seated in the packed dining room he said “can’t really tell it’s a recession in here”. That got me thinking about something that’s not [...]
The Observer gives Lewis the kiss of death
It isn’t looking good for BoA. Charlotte.com is being flooded with a mass of slightly rewritten aricles about the bank.

UNCC and [...]
Breaking Fast
Another loop on the financial roller coaster could make Charlotte toss it’s cookies. Merger talks between Wachovia and Mo.Stan have been suspended…indefinitely.
