And show a little fucking respect, maybe if you poast better I'll let you have a moniker (seriously, why the fuck dont you have a moniker?). Anyways, "underwrite capital offerings" I mean come on man. do we really need a million bankers soaking up insane amounts of rent to "underwrite capital offerings" fuck man,do you really believe this? Could we maybe get by just fine with say 10% of this entire industry?

If someone can come up with an alternative service that is cheaper and same or superior quality they will instantly win the marketplace.

People have suspected for a long time that there should be a way around these middlemen, but we haven't found it yet. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4116955&forum_id=2#37108901) |

Joe Blow from XYZ Inc. in Kansas isn't going to have access to investors, let alone undertake an offering of securities anywhere in compliance with all the different offering restrictions. They have to go through a broker.
M&A it's all about the brokering of deals, and again, bankers use their network to make this work and do valuation. It makes life a lot easier for corporates, but costs a ton in fees. |

I guess we all live in a world where GCs of F500s are stupid dumbasses who enjoy paying out of their asses for pointless inconsequential "service providers" like bankers when they could just do it "in house" at a fraction of the cost.
These corps are paying for IB because they are busy doing shit like making cars or selling GC shit to wagecucks like you, and don't have the time or capability to market to pension funds located halfway around the world who may not even speak English or find a buyer for their shit subsidiary located in OshKosh Oklahoma. It's just the way it is.
The alternative is to hire a whole lot more people which will end up being more expensive in the long run and create a bunch of headaches because you have to do BS training and logistics for these new drones you just hired and pay for their healthcare and shit. Bankers you just use and dump once they've done their job. |

Date: November 20th, 2018 2:57 AM Author: cerebral dilemma double fault it's true that corps need to hire outside experts bc it's not economical to have the necessary expertise in-house. it's also true that no corp is going to operate its own bond desks. lol at ford or caesar's or something directly selling securities to investors.
otoh IBs are no smarter than anyone else when out of their wheelhouse -- look at how bad they fucked up on CDO valuation and trading, causing ITE. it's reasonable to ask why IBs have such wild comp and fees; presumably you can run an advanced economy without paying howie hubler $25m to lose $9b. |

It's true that it's not rocket science, but the "basic" shit that good bankers can do they can do so fucking fast it will make your head spin.
I suspect the reason many "scholarly" types don't get this is because they don't understand the significant portion of the world that is run by "numbers" people. |
