My argument as to why Fidelity Investments ranks among America’s most extraordinary companies.
The Slaughtering of Merrill Lynch’s Bulls
The media did investors a great disservice not picking up CNBC’s Scott Cohn story about the $24.5 million Merrill Lynch was forced to pay former New Hampshire governor Craig Benson for allegedly unauthorized trading in his account. The settlement serves as yet another painful reminder how badly Bank of America sullied what was once one of America’s greatest brands.
