Jefferies Reports Strong Earnings-Bloomberg

Jefferies (JEF) has done a remarkable job rebounding from the “bear raid” that the stock faced last year, after a very poor research report from Egan-Jones raised alarms as to their exposure in Europe.  These trading numbers should augur fairly well for financials this quarter and I’m anxious to delve more deeply into the quarter.
