Just heard that we will not hear anything today.

  That might be good.  It would mean an audible has been called, likely reflecting a late change of plan.  Maybe a last ditch effort to do the UBS JV, DL's likely only hope to gain real retention and hold the firm together.  I like it.

 SHOCKING, Does WFC even know what an FA is ?

Feb 13, 2009 3:27 pm

I wanted to hear something today, but bad news comes on 3 day weekends.  If we hear of a call scheduled from Tuesday or Wednesday, I think that could be a good omen.

I would bet that the UBS thing gets announced. Three day weekend. Gotta happen.

Was told by a regional manager that an announcement of meeting will come later today.

The call will be "next week".

A recruiter some of you mention here cold called me this AM.  He works for Wachovia among others.  I asked him what he’s hearing on WS retention as he talks with loads of ISG and PCG  managers during a given week.  He said the pressure to bring in “NEW” FA flow into their pipelines is on. He said the heat is really on the ISG channel as there’s huge turnover expected and already happening.

My theory.....chaos in St. Louis....

[/quote]   Mine:  Either of two scenarios: 1 -- Still working on UBS JV and putting us on hold for the time being, 2 -- Know (via feedback from meetings this week) that reaction will be bad enough that they're trying to take the 3 day (read moving time) weekend out of play and hit us with us at the start of a week.
