Ken is as stoic as they say. Ann is a gem, but perhaps a bit restless. Both have occupied minds you might say, but what do you expect in this business and those kind of chips? Ken has lawyers and he likes to use them...everything is negotiable.

E-Trade was about preserving/boosting option/equity order-flow. Prices paid on the credit book was not ugly as everyone suggests. Lastly, BlackRock participated in the capital raising as well. Keep the good times rollin!
