We Got A Lot Of Excellent People And Businesses From Bear And Wamu. But Bear Definitely Was More Painful. Wamu Got Us Into Florida, California, And Other States, Which Was A Huge Benefit - To Expand And Grow And Add Middle-market, Private Banking, Investment Banking, And Other Products, Too.

We Take Smaller Companies And Middle-sized Companies, All Around The World, And We Do Currency Exchange For Them; We Raise Bonds And Equities For Them; And We Do Inventory Finance, Trade Finance, And Custody Of Assets.

It's Offensive To Me To Be Called A Cost Cutter.
