  • Lehman Brothers
    Lehman Brothers Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Pink Sheets: LEHMQ, former NYSE ticker symbol LEH) (pronounced / ˈliːm ə n/ ) was a global financial services firm which, until declaring bankruptcy in 2008, participated in business in investment banking, equity and fixed-income sales, research and trading, investment management, private equity, and private banking. It was a primary dealer in the U.S. Treasury securities market. Its primary subsidiaries included Lehman Brothers Inc., Neuberger Berman Inc., Aurora Loan Services, Inc., SIB Mortgage Corporation, Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, Eagle Energy Partners, and the Crossroads Group. The firm's worldwide headquarters were in New York City, with regional headquarters in London and Tokyo, as well as offices located throughout the world. On September 15, 2008, the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following the massive exodus of most of its clients, drastic losses in its stock, and devaluation of its assets by credit rating agencies. The filing marked the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.[2] The following day, the British bank Barclays announced its agreement to purchase, subject to regulatory approval, Lehman's North American investment-banking and trading divisions along with its New York headquarters building.[3][4] On September 20, 2008, a revised version of that agreement was approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James M. Peck.[5] During the week of September 22, 2008, Nomura Holdings announced that it would acquire Lehman Brothers' franchise in the Asia Pacific region, including Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.[6] as well as, Lehman Brothers' investment banking and equities businesses in Europe and the Middle East.

  • Behavior Modification
    Providing Global Opportunities for the Risk-Aware Investor Behavior Modification Author Michael Lewis must feel like Yogi Berra with déjà vu all over again. In 1989, as the country was looking in the rear view mirror at a major market crash preceded by a decade of overindulgence, he published “Liar’s Poker.” His personal account of working at Salomon Brothers in the 1980’s told the tale of testosterone-charged bond traders and their relentless pursuit of money and power. The book became an instant classic on Wall Street, and somewhat of a playbook for aspiring Gordon Gekkos. He labeled that era to be a “rare and amazing glitch” in the history of earning a living. Today, as we read the emails and listen to the stories of deals constructed during the earlier years of the 2000’s, it seems that the “rare” money-making opportunity of the 1980’s was not so rare after all. As our legislators craft the details of financial reform, we think it is important that they focus not just on how to extricate ourselves from the next crisis, but on how to best prevent one. The main goal of this paper is to illuminate the central points of financial reform legislation now being debated in Congress. In order to do that, we must first address the important question: “What led us to this point?” Twenty years after “Liar’s Poker” Michael Lewis has published another book, “The Big Short,” in which he chronicles the accounts of a handful of investors who bet on and profited from the collapse of the subprime mortgage market.

M a n y specialized financial firms have sought to diversify them­ selves and have begun to offer a wider range of financial products than they had offered previously. For example, S & L s and mutual savings banks n o w offer commercial and consumer credit in addition to their mo r e tra­ ditional product, h o m e mortgages, and credit unions have begun to offer h o m e mortgages in addition to their traditional product, consumer credit. Commercial banks, which for m a n y years tended to restrict themselves to commercial lending, n o w serve a wide range of commercial, household, and government customers by intermediating across a wide range of financial products. Further, all three of these depository institutions have begun to offer a wider range of deposit instruments, particularly transaction ac­ counts, that were not offered previously.
