]. When they get the mike, the analysts all state their names and the firms they work for. And as soon as Schoenebaum said, "Bear Stearns", Genentech CEO Art Levinson yells out, "You mean there's somebody from Bear Stearns still here?" The room erupted in laughter.
Schoenebaum came back with a quick retort, "You guys (the Genentech team) do great work," jokingly hinting he might need to butter them up for a job soon. Genentech's CFO, David Ebersman, used to be a sell-side analyst. By the way, I'll be doing a "First On CNBC" interview with Ebersman on "Closing Bell" at 3 p.m. ET today.
And then toward the end of the Q and A session an analyst gets the mike and once again prefaces his question by introducing himself, "Geoffrey Meacham with JPMorgan...soon to be the parent company, I guess, of Bear Stearns."
Laughter ensues. The meeting ends.
