Discussion about
"Morgan Stanley has set aside $10.87 billion for compensation and benefits for the first three quarters of 2009, down from $11.97 billion in the same period last year" and last year was the bad year, of course.... http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091218/bs_nm/us_morganstanley
but head count is down significantly
which would make things even worse for re, no?
Somehow the bulls fail to grasp that headcount being down is bad for RE. The fewer people who still have a job making more money per cap doesn't help real estate.
First three quarters of last year were not so bad, right? It was really the fourth quarter that was a disaster.
