In February, Oppenheimer announced plans to spin off its Silicon Valley office, citing differences in the Minnesota and California technology markets.

Minnesota has a technology market? I was always under the impression that the only things that come out of Minnesota were Sugar Beets, Soybeans and Cheese. As such, it seems that their market does not consist so much of technology as, er, farming.
But what do I know. Perhaps dairyology spinoffs will drive us out of recession.

As for the closing of their SV office, most of us in the neighborhood knew it was far too big and shiny to last. After all, how can a firm with no SV tech practice pay rent on Page Mill Road?

Ahh, well. Congrats to those who were able to jump ship. Condolences to those left holding the bag.
