Artie DeGaetano, head of the high yield trading team and a partner at Bear Stearns, resigned a couple of weeks ago due to family health issues. He was at Bear Stearns for 12 1/2 years and commented to BondWeek that it had been a great firm to work for. He mentioned that he is uncertain when or if he will return to the trading floor. For now, however, he is taking care of issues at home.
