Two Decades and 4,579 Emails Later, CEOs Still Read Goldberg

It was early one Monday in March 2004. Jamie Dimon was still in Chicago running Bank One Corp., subprime mortgage-backed securities were flying off the shelf and a 31-year-old bank analyst sent out a rudimentary, bullet-pointed list to clients from his perch at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
It’s been exactly two decades since Jason Goldberg’s first morning missive. His then-employer no longer exists, nor do many of the firms mentioned in that email, but he’s kept the daily “Bank Brief” going from his post at Barclays Plc. It’s evolved into a polished document running more than a dozen pages, keeping track of everything from executive comments and regulatory changes to economic data and stock moves.
