US banks to pay out record bonuses...

Everyone on Wall Street is fixated on The Number.

The bank bonus season, that annual rite of big money and bigger egos, begins in earnest this week, and it looks as if it will be one of the largest and most controversial blowouts the industry has ever seen.

Bank executives are grappling with a question that exasperates, even infuriates, many recession-weary Americans: Just how big should their paydays be?

The haul, in cash and stock, will run into many billions of dollars. More...

Don't miss:

  1. Goldman Sachs to pay huge bonuses...
  2. Top bailed-out banks to pay $30 billion in bonuses...
  3. Curbs? What curbs? Bankers still getting massive bonuses...
  4. Billions in bonuses for bailed-out bankers...
  5. Lehman Bros head took home $300m!!!
