>This is interesting to me because I worked for Morgan Stanley in the late 80s when I lived in Portland, OR. They are partial owners (or they used to be anyway along with Mitsubishi and other smaller corporations and LLCs) of the PACWEST building in downtown Portland. My, how things have changed!

After a few years of waiting for delivery and a reduction in production, MS should come to it's sense. It would be great if we could move the Federal Reserve off shore - let them go do as much good for someone else as they've done for us!:)
