  • Warren Buffett's Wild Ride at Salomon (Fortune, 1997)
    Warren Buffett's Wild Ride at Salomon (Fortune, 1997) Warren Buffett, interim chairman of Solomon Brothers, Inc., gestures during testimony before a House Commerce subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Sept. 5, 1991. Photograph by Marcy Nighswander — AP Photos By CAROL J. LOOMIS October 27, 1997 As Sanford I. Weill, 64, the dealmaking CEO of Travelers Group, steps up to his biggest acquisition ever—the purchase of Salomon Inc. for $9 billion—a famous Wall Street figure, Warren E.Buffett, 67, steps out of Salomon. His days there began almost precisely a decade ago, in the early fall of 1987, when his company, Berkshire Hathaway, became Salomon‘s largest shareholder and he moved in as a director. But that was training-wheels stuff, nothing to the high- wire unicycle act that came later: Buffett was physically, emotionally, and really at Salomon for nine months in 1991 and 1992, when the firm’s trading illegalities created a giant sucking sound that brought him in to run the place. Though much has been written about Buffett and Salomon, a lot of what you will read here will be new. I have been a friend of Buffett‘s for about 30 years and have long been a shareholder of Berkshire (though never a shareholder of Salomon). As a friend, I do some editing every year on Buffett‘s well-known annual report, and we have for eons talked about collaborating on a book about his business life. All this has given me many opportunities to learn Buffett‘s thinking. Some of what I’ve gleaned has ended up in FORTUNE stories that I wrote, most especially in an April 11, 1988, article, “The Inside Story of Warren Buffett,” and in an accompanying box, “The Wisdom of Salomon?” But much of what I learned about Buffett‘s experiences at Salomon in 1991 was confidential, embargoed by him because Salomon was both struggling to regain its footing and dealing with big legal problems.

  • Commercial Banks and the Capital Markets
    Size Matters: Commercial Banks and the Capital Markets CHARLES K. WHITEHEAD* The conventional story is that the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act broke down the Glass–Steagall Act’s wall separating commercial and investment banking in 1999, increasing risky business activities by commercial banks and precipitating the 2007 financial crisis. But the conventional story is only one-half complete. What it omits is the effect of change in commercial bank regulation on financial firms other than the commercial banks. After all, it was the failure of Lehman Brothers—an investment bank, not a commercial bank—that sparked the meltdown. This Article provides the rest of the story. The basic premise is straightforward: By 1999, the Glass–Steagall Act’s original purpose— to protect commercial banks from the capital markets—had reversed. Instead, its main function had become protecting the capital markets from new competition by commercial banks. Once the wall came down, commercial banks gained a sizeable share of the investment banking business. To offset lost revenues, investment banks pursued riskier businesses, growing their principal investments and increasing the amounts they borrowed to finance them. In effect, they assumed the features of commercial banks—a reliance on short-term borrowing to finance longer-term (and riskier) investments. For the investment banks, combining the two was lethal and eventually triggered the financial meltdown. The divide between two sets of regulators, those regulating commercial banks and those regulating investment banks, enabled the change. The need for greater regulatory coordination has grown with convergence in the financial markets. Although new regulation has addressed some of the concern, the gap between regulators continues today—raising the risk of repeating mistakes from the past.

  • Mos Episode Transcript: Sallie Krawcheck REID HOFFMAN
    MoS Episode Transcript: Sallie Krawcheck REID HOFFMAN: When you think of the first computer, maybe you imagine a huge mainframe ​ in a college lab in the 1950s; serious-looking people in white coats feeding in punch cards as the machinery whirs. But the story of computing started much earlier. And it probably looked a bit different than you imagine. STEVEN JOHNSON: In the 1830s Charles Babbage, the British inventor, invented ​ basically a programmable computer that was a hundred years ahead of its time. HOFFMAN: That’s Steven Johnson, host of the podcast “American Innovations”, and author of ​ many books about technology and progress that you should read. Steven’s latest book is called Farsighted: How We Make the Decisions That Matter the Most. As he wrote it, he kept thinking ​ about Babbage and this first computer. JOHNSON: These machines had almost all the key elements of modern computing. ​ They were programmable, they had the sense of a CPU, they had the sense of RAM, the sense of a hard drive-like storage. HOFFMAN: There was just one small problem: this was the 1830s. Scientists hadn’t yet ​ mastered electricity. Babbage’s designs were too complex to be built. But this didn’t stop them from sparking people’s imaginations. And one person they sparked was a mathematician named Ada Lovelace. JOHNSON: Lovelace was a young woman who was a math prodigy at a time when this ​ is very unusual. And she is now widely considered to be the first software programmer. HOFFMAN: Lovelace wrote the first example of what we’d now call “computer code”.

OPPEL Jr. and PATRICK McGEEHAN WALL STREET rejoiced last month when Sanford I. Weill, the legendary deal-making chairman of Citigroup, announced that it was buying Associates First Capital, one of the nation's largest consumer finance concerns, for $31 billion. Investors bet that the deal would repeat the success of Mr. Weill's other mergers, notably Salomon Brothers and Citicorp, while bolstering Citigroup's presence in Asia, where Mr. Weill is staking a big part of his company's future. ''It's the perfect Sandy Weill transaction,'' said Joan Solotar, an analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston who follows Citigroup. ''It's a business he knows, there are real cost-cutting opportunities, there's a consumer franchise in Asia and it's accretive. What more could you ask for?'' People in North Carolina might say ''plenty.'' Last year, legislators there became the first to pass tough anti- predatory lending laws, taking aim at finance companies that lawmakers and consumer activists say routinely take advantage of unsophisticated homeowners. And, according to people who supported the bill, the most talked-about lender during legislative hearings was Associates.
