Morgan Stanley (MS) said on Friday that it is looking to make busy the idle money it gained from divesting financial and investment securities that had not been bearing much fruit for the bank. One of the senior managers from Morgan Stanley said that the bank is exploring opportunities that will help it improve its profit levels.
