My top 5 in 5 years:
1. J.P. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
2. AIG Goldman Sachs
3. Chase Merrill Lynch
4. Deutsche Lehman Brothers
5. Credit Suisse Warburg Dillon Read
runners up
6. DLJ Lazards
7. ABN Robertson Stephens
8. SG Bear Stearns
9. BofA Wasserstein Perella
10. Thomas Weisel Piper Jaffray
All tongue-in-cheek, of course, but just wanted to point out that the future could be a very different place...don't choose a firm based on today's reputation alone. |

I don't know, I think there would be a nice irony in Salomon reacquainting Smith Barney with Lehman (perhaps adding back the "Shearson" part) to go to Salomon Smith Barney Shearson Lehman [brothers].
And of course with their giant ego's, who would be surprised to see GS buy a media company to brag about themselves -->
"CBS Goldman Sachs" (the tiffany network with the tiffany bank?)
