Hiya! Remember me? Of course not. I was just a commodity floor phone jockey who, for a time, collected a check from you while allowing you to cash a commission against my arbitrage clients’ action. You were “Shearson/Lehman/American Express” back then. I needed a safe harbor for me and my phones, and you made some coin in the deal, so everything was fairly nice… until you started acting like idiots and I skipped town to a different outfit, where I wasn’t treated with, dare I say, utter insolence.
So now it seems you boyos are royally screwed. Well, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving pack of miscreants.
Yours, in near heart-stopping glee,
TC.
ps: tell Uncle Merrill I says, “it was long overdue.”








Haha, I worked there too, in '89! Worked as an order clerk, and reorg. I didn't hate it and my boss was standup, but that didn't stop me from getting swept up in one of their perpetual rolling layoffs.
I wasn't really pissed, because I went over to the insurance side and that was the best move I could have made, in retrospect.
They were “Shearson Lehman Hutton” then…..will never forget the nutty brokers with the “Super-Soaker” water cannons on Fridays….
