Charlie Gasparino Thinks You (r Bosses) Are All Pussies

By

Charlie Gasparino’s latest column for Trader Monthly is about everyone’s favorite topic/bank that just won’t die: Lehman Brothers. Specifically, the fate of LEH CEO Dick Fuld. Friends say he’s “tiring out” and many believe his days at the firm are numbered, whether or not the institution goes under or gets broken up or bought out, especially since Fuld “can’t stomach” the idea of the Brothers “being part of some homogenous bank.” But Chaz knows Dick is going to be just fine. Why? Because he’s not afraid to (attempt, unsuccessfully) to knock another man’s teeth out, unlike some people Gasparino knows:

“It is never smart to bet against Fuld. He’s a fighter, even in the most literal sense: As I reported last year, he once got into a physical altercation at his son’s hockey game with a parent from the opposing team. That time, he didn’t fare too well against a guy who one eyewitness described as twice his size, but how many Wall Street CEOs you know would have even stood their ground?”

Yeah! How many heads of public companies do you know that would get into a fist fight with another kid’s parent in public, probably embarrassing his own child and risking assault charges (which, I can tell you, as a fractional owner of many, many companies, the shareholders love)? We want to believe Lloyd would be down for some sucker punches but sort of doubt it. And this is obviously a crock:

    Personally, I like my CEO to be a bit more even tempered when faced with the stresses the world throws at them.
    Not to mention Fuld lost that fight. Chalk up a second loss when LEH splits apart. That’s called a losing streak.

    can’t blame a guy for losing his cool when he’s all liquored up in the stands in some prep school rink…

    I enjoyed hearing about Dick’s incredible food binges.He choked on 3 SIV’s and then had room leftover for a double cheeseburger and roast turkey sandwich…all before the his CDO desk had their first morning dump.

    Gasparino is such a tea-bagging retard … Fuld probably cut in front of him at Tastee-Freeze and Gasparino, because he is more vindictive than a scorned cougar, dug up a 5-year old story. What a mo

    The Jamie Dimon photo is about as convincing as a Sears male model.

    Can I simply say what a relief to find someone who truly is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know the way to carry a difficulty to mild and make it important. More people have to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant consider youre not more common since you positively have the gift.
