Yesterday was a good day for Legg Mason [profile]. Even as financial services stocks as a whole fell 0.3 percent and the Dow fell 0.95 percent, the Baltimore-based mutual fund shop's shares rose 2.2 percent to $24.65.

That climb earned Legg Mason the "Today's Featured Financial Services Winner" label from TheStreet. The jump follows recent speculation about who might succeed Mark Fetting as Legg Mason's CEO.
