I’ve seen this movie before! When Bank of America acquired my firm, Montgomery Securities, they “played nice’ for the first few years and then they started to treat us like bankers.
My business partner and I wrote a blog about this on September 25, 2008 that continues to generate hits in 2011! In fact the number of hits has spiked recently…hmmm. Not to 4,000 but higher than 50.
