He later became an analyst at PaineWebber but made his name at Salomon pounding the table for WorldCom in the mid-'90s, with the stock trading in the teens. As it rose to its high near $62 in 1999, so did Grubman's reputation, and his relationship with Ebbers got downright cozy--Grubman even attended Ebbers' wedding that year.
