In his time covering the leveraged loans beat, Silver shone the beacon of truth against the market, chasing stories and following the news by whatever means necessary.
In his farewell remarks, Silver thanked his favourite levloan contact, Jeremy Selway at Deutsche Bank. Selway had always been kind and patient, especially given Silver's lack of knowledge of the market when he first started the beat.
The departing journalist made one inexplicable comment as he recalled fond memories though when he said “forgive me Jeremy.”
For what Silver needs to be excused of, we may never know, but all decent journalists are guilty of upsetting their contacts at times.
Another of Silver’s contacts came out for a drink with a number of GlobalCapital journalists on Friday evening.
The second contact shall remain anonymous for having been so outrageously behaved throughout his relationship with GlobalCapital.
Mr X, as he shall be known, has supplied much fodder for gossip over the years and many entertaining foul-mouthed rants. Mr X bade Silver a warm farewell while also demanding free drinks from the journos in exchange for his insights.
Finally Mr X accused Silver of “getting paid more to do less” in his new job and wished him good luck. Nice work if you can get it, eh, Silver?
