Is it conditioning, morality, or naïveté?

`` Bloomberg reported just this morning that Morgan Stanley will "relinquish" five San Francisco office buildings after having purchased them more than two years ago near the top of the market.

Maybe the rules are different for big banks than for homeowners.''
