Today I attended a luncheon for the Turnaround Management Association of which I have been a member for approximately 10 years. During this time I have seen good economies and bad. For the past 3 years the economy has been so good that the TMA meetings looked like a Maytag repairmen convention. Today was different! The question I want to ask is, “Is the Tide Beginning to Fall?”
Is the Tide Beginning to Fall?
The room was packed with people I had not seen in 6 months. What was more thought provoking was the speaker. Not what he had to say but his recent career change.
Trained as a bankruptcy attorney the speaker had spent the last 6 years as an investment banker. Sometime during the year his firm was sold to Merrill Lynch. He recently left Merrill Lynch to join a major law firm. Doing what? Bankruptcy law!
So when the investment bankers start becoming bankruptcy attorneys maybe we should be watching the economy more closely!
