I loved The Blind Side (and the rest of his stuff). Either post something up on here, or send me an e-mail if you would! Thanks. Tariq,

In fact, Lazard, Greenhill, Evercore, Piper Jaffray, and Cowen are all examples of public I-banks (unlike, say, a true partnership like Brown Bros. Harriman). The difference lies in business model rather than public vs. private partnership - after all, no one in the public equity markets FORCED Bear or Lehman to lever up 30- or 35-1 using short-term funding to trade in long-dated assets.
