Art Cashin, UBS\u2019 director of floor operations at the New York Stock Exchange and a man The Washington Post called \u201cWall Street\u2019s version of Walter Cronkite,\u201d has died. He was 83 and had been a regular on CNBC for more than 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the intensely competitive and often vicious world of stock market commentary, Cashin was that rarest of creatures: a man respected by all, bulls and bears, liberals and conservatives alike. He seemed to have almost no enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was a great drinker and raconteur, a teller of stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For decades, he assembled a group of like-minded friends every day after trading halted, first at the bar at the NYSE luncheon club, then across the street at Bobby Van\u2019s Steakhouse, where the group came to be known as the \u201cFriends of Fermentation.\u201d His drink was Dewar\u2019s, always on the rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
