    Lehman Brothers Take-over: Implications for Financials [view article]
    I'm with Pokernut, putting a price on LEH is like trying to value a cloudy swamp--who the hell knows what lurks in those murky waters! IMO LEH is giving off the same panicked stench that Bear emitted before it went down. This may be one token lamb Bernanke and Paulson may be willing to allow to fail. Reply

    Hey Benjamin,
    Maybe everyone else knows the difference between Book Value and Tangible Book Value and knows what LFI is, but I got my Harvard Business masters degree too long ago and would appreciate a little help. Thanks.

    Lehman is insolvent and bankrupt! They are facing $65-70 billion in future writedowns - and have a market cap of $10 billion! This buyout rumor was likely planted by those desperate to unload Lehman stock (using Dick Bove as a conduit). Of course, it will NOT be investigated by the SEC or any other US regulatory agency. When will the crooks go to jail? Hasn't the Street ripped the clueless investor for enough money already?

    On ABK and MBI you are missing the point: adjusted book value is the proper metric.

    Extrapolating from one troubled investment bank to a variety of other types of financial institutions is an exercise in futility - apples to oranges.

    How can you not point out that BAC has not reported a loss Q but reduced positive earnings. That is #1 and has yet to cut the dividend. Someone needs to adjust perspective. The BAC Board does not have a track record of exploiting Shareholders. Reply

    No so sure I would be assuming that because Lehman gets valuated to junk all the related financials would be valuated at the same level. Also no so sure about buying Lehman without assuming its obligations, although it can happened I doubt it and if it does margin calls will start to fullfil those obligations before the deal is closed.

    Thanks for the time and effort that went into this article.
    Although, I do no think that the other financials hinge on "the lehman Factor".
    FRE and FNM I believe will be the true gauge, and their outcome will dictate the valuation of the fore mentioned stocks.
    Still its great to look at that chart and see most are climbing back to their rightful spots...Book value..that is...     Reply

    Your assumption that all companies are in the same
    dire straits as Lehman would seem to beg the issue!
    In addition, Lehman would not opt for such a valuation unless it was the last gasp! Many financials
    trading below book value are in much better shape
    thank you, and some even are at lowered valuations
    due to revised accounting mark to market rules!
    All in all, you article is a non starter     Reply

    Out of that list there is one that looks attractive. It may go to zero but could be an easy triple so the r/r is well worth it.

    Re: ACAS. I think the game has changed for the BDCs for the next few years because the tight credit markets have put paid to traditional exit strategies for portfolio holdings. They'll have to focus on instituting genuine operating improvements in their companies, and concentrate on cash flow/profits.

    just sayin'     Reply
