If you thought things couldn’t get weirder in the brokerage firm stocks, guess again. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (NYSE: LEH) has essentially fired its CFO Erin Callan and its COO Joseph Gregory. Technically Callan is going to another department, although it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
This report comes within 72-hours of its $2.8 billion quarterly loss expectations and after a large financing.
Ian Lowitt, the current chief administrative officer, will become CFO; and Bart McDade, global head of equities, will become the COO of Lehman.
This isn’t the way to instill confidence in Wall Street. Shares are down over 8% at $21.75 right at the open and we’ve already seen over 17 million shares.
