The Morgan Stanley teen intern "research" report

Have you read it? It's brilliant! Well, brilliant in a bad way. It's shocking.

I can't believe how much of a stir it has caused, when it's based on sod all.

    That's what caused all the fuss? Really?!

    Good grief.

    Quite. As far as I can tell it's just based on him and his mates. And he is hardly likely to be "average" is he? Plus he contradicts himself, a lot. And i got very annoyed that there weren't any references everywhere he stated a "fact" ?

    Aw come on - its incredible for bankers to meet a real life person and get them to give information rather than the research analysts having to make it up !

    I was wondering what all the fuss was about too.

    "Teenagers don't use PC games." Er, have you heard of The Sims...?!

    I'm not so sure it's masterful - it makes me think "if they think that is good quality research worth listening to then i wouldn't touch them with someone else's..."

    Erm, I missed all this ?

    [belm] is about all I can think of to say. They released this? Why? Surely it was just something to give the work experience boy to do to make him feel useful and stop him buggering up anyone else's day?

    Well, it makes you wonder if any of the people who work at Morgan Stanley who were so amazed by these "revelations" ever actually speak to their children. How completely ridiculous.
