Morgan Stanley is in a white knuckle situation, having just had a 22% haircut today. They are waiting on a big chunk of change($9 billion) from MTU on Tuesday. I believe that the government won't let Morgan Stanley fail. Look for them to get a cash infusion from Uncle Sam now that Paulson has been given the power to do so. Also, don't rule out them being bought lock, stock, and barrel. Still, this is a speculative pick and should only be made with money that you can afford to lose.
