Paul Glazer stood awkwardly in a dark-blue suit at a podium at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
The occasion: the 2018 kickoff for the sun-drenched local franchise of the Sohn Investment Conference, a pediatric cancer charity.
Other Sohn speakers that day included Jefferies global strategist David Zervos, Seth Fischer of Hong Kong hedge fund Oasis Management, and activist Bart Baum of Ionic Capital Management. They all crowded together in front of a wall of videos to press a blue switch to start the day’s trading.
“The market is open,” a computer-like voice droned amid cheers and applause, according to a video of the event.
