...penned 18 novels, two memoirs and three plays. His most recent novel, published in April, 2008, is titled Mack to the Rescue. It's the seventh in a series centered around a fictional lieutenant governor of Oklahoma...
...simply responding to calls to stop the slide in certain stocks - Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack put in a personal call to the SEC - isn't necessarily the best policy. Short sellers, as anyone in finance will tell you, often provide very useful early signals about the weakest players in the market. And there is little rigorous data on whether bans on short selling broadly, or specific modifications to how it's conducted (like whether a stock must tick up before a short can go in), truly reduce volatility in markets. Little wonder that many market observers, including former Federal...
...Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), Japan's largest bank, announced plans to pay up to $9 billion for a 10% to 20% stake in Morgan Stanley, one of two major U.S. investment banks left standing. The announcement capped a frantic few days during which Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack sought a saving dose of capital from Wachovia, a U.S. bank, and the China Investment Corp., Beijing's $200 billion sovereign wealth fund, which had already bought 9.9% of Morgan Stanley last December.

CIC bought 9.9% of Morgan Stanley in December for $5.5 billion; last week Gao Xiqing, CIC's chief investment officer, was in New York for talks with Mack about expanding that stake.

"You have...
...once burned, twice shy" isn't an old Chinese proverb, it probably should be. As Gao Xiqing, the chief investment officer of China's $200 billion sovereign wealth fund, meets in New York City this week with Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack to discuss increasing the Chinese government's stake in the venerable - and flailing - investment bank, he bears an obvious burden. Last December, the CIC (the China Investment Corp.) invested $5 billion for a 9.9% stake in Morgan Stanley (for which the bank must pay CIC a 9% annual dividend until 2010). On paper, that investment is now down...
