Help Jefferies Buzz David Zervos’s Hair For Charity

Our Chief Market Strategist David Zervos has been incredibly accurate and savvy with his macro calls for a very long time. To most of our amusement, he has embarked on a no-haircut-until-a-rate-cut protest and it appears with a Fed rate cut on July 31st almost 100% certain, his protest appearance may finally be coming to an end.  Now this inevitable “shearing” can come in two forms. First, David could just get a return to the normal Zervos “cool look” that we are all familiar with and so the story ends. However, David and we came up with another idea that we believe could be much more substantive and enjoyable for clients and fellow co-workers, alike. In thinking about how much of David’s hair to chop off, we have decided to let colleagues and clients decide through contributions to a wonderful charity venture called Good Today.

And now for the punchline:  Jefferies will kick off the contest by donating $100,000. If clients and colleagues raise an additional $150,000, bringing the total charitable value of David’s great hair to be a quarter of a million dollars, the buzzer will come out. That’s right, David has generously agreed that if we reach that milestone, he will submit to a full buzz cut and the deed will be done live on national TV on CNBC after the Powell press conference on July 31st. So, Donate Today and let’s give David the buzz cut he deserves!

Good Today allows people anywhere around the world to become a philanthropist for as little as 25 cents a day. By registering to be part of the Good Today Community, every weekday morning you’ll receive an email with a cause and two charities supporting that cause. Then, just choose which charity to donate your daily commitment. By doing this every day, those who participate will raise their awareness and gain exposure to a number of wonderful charities that are solving some of the many challenges our world is facing while getting you used to the daily act of kindness, empathy and giving.

We have over 10,000 clients at Jefferies and over 3,500 co-workers.  We are asking all of you to Donate Today and become a contributor to this great cause.  Your donations will help Good Today bring its mission of hope through daily charity to even more people around the world.  While you are donating to this great cause, we’re also asking all of you to consider signing up your companies to become part of the Good Today community.  Please contact Joe at [email protected] if interested.

Thank you all for conducting business with Jefferies, supporting our research effort and considering Good Today as a way to bring a small bit of philanthropy into your daily routine.

We are all incredibly fortunate people and the two of us recognize that every single day.  Philanthropy and giving back are woven into the fabric of Jefferies and all of our people who work here.  We hope you will join us.

With Gratitude and Appreciation,

Rich and Brian
