  • Browsing Through Lehman Emails [View article]
    I saw a graphic after that fateful weekend:
    DIck Fuld: Long Term Investor
    John Thain: Trader

    I wish Lehman had injected some fresh blood into its Board or Senior Management so that they could see how bad things were becoming. At times of extreme stress, long term insiders can not detach themselves from the past, and internalize the implication of the present.

    Fuld never understood how the game had changed with hedge funds, no uptick rule, blatant naked-shorting, and trend following computerized trading severely exaggerating any directional move in a nervous market.
