Gleacher is Losing Its Gleacher

By Jon Shazar

Awkward.

Eric J. Gleacher, a veteran deal maker who participated in the fight over RJR Nabisco, said on Tuesday that he would leave the investment bank he founded about 23 years ago.

The departure of Mr. Gleacher as chairman comes months after his struggling firm hired Credit Suisse to explore a sale.

    Whenever I read Shazar's name for some reason the letters S-H-A-R-T pop into my mind. Not sure if it is some odd dyslexia or a more meaningful sign.

    Well, this confirms it…Dealbreaker does not pay its columnists by written word count. Writing 'awkward' as a one word article is like me writing the word 'Balls' as the one word response on my annual review.
