The strategy was mocked by the press as “Stocks and Sox; Bonds and Brassieres.” The Sears’s 1982, $770 million investment became a $3.5 billion public offering and distribution of Dean Witter stock to shareholders in 1993. In 1997, Dean Witter merged with Morgan Stanley, the investment banking firm that had managed the valuation and stock sale to the public. Carl retired from Dean Witter, Morgan Stanley, Inc. in 2002 but still keeps up to date managing a few accounts for family and friends.
