Document strings detected
- When Jeffrey joined Bear, Stearns twenty-four years ago, it was our plan to put him on the American Stock Exchange floor to trade options on common stocks.
- Up until then, options had been traded Over the Counter. Jeff said no, and that was the last difference we ever had.
- Working with Jeffrey has been a pleasure and watching his meteoric success has given me many vicarious thrills.
- I am sure that we will see Jeffrey's star glow even brighter.
- Good luck Jeffrey —
