How Would Lehman's Liquidation Affect Its Top Holdings? [view article]

wow, I see great humor here.Someone actually has a sense of humor!
XOM's R&D will never buffer a buyout though, and to tell you the truth XOM likes geoscientists in management, not MBA's. XOM does a hell of a lot more than buying a few mortgages for our society (that would be like throwing a doallr in the offering plate for them). So all of you who actually take any of this article seriously, try Paxil, you might actually feel better about yourself. Reply

Whenever I hear anything from "broker sources", I can usually safely assume the opposite - they gossip like fishwives, usually about matters they don't fully grasp: perfect for spreading misinformation. ReplyAlternative Buyers for Lehman (and Not Just the Usual Suspects) [view article]
Some foreign wealth fund will buy American assets on the cheap.Deep pockets, long term growth/profits. Who fits this mold?????
SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND!!!!!!!!!
Buy these American assets, keep ownership american, keep future profits/growth here. Jobs here. The trust fund is solvent short term
20 years, over the long term future these investment will pay off handsomely.
Buy Lehman, Merrill, AIG, WAMU and watch the future grow. Reply

I'm sorry for my previous post but what are talking about READ THIS....LOLLehman Gets Bids From Bain, Clayton for Asset-Management Unit
By Jason Kelly and Jonathan Keehner
Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. received bids for its asset-management unit from private- equity firms including Bain Capital LLC and Clayton Dubilier & Rice Inc., said people familiar with the situation.
The bids value the unit, which includes the Neuberger Berman fund business, private-equity funds and a brokerage firm serving wealthy individuals, at about $5 billion, said the people, who asked not to be named because the auction is private. KKR & Co. LP, which was weighing an offer, hadn't made a bid by the 5 p.m. deadline, the buyout firm told people involved in the process.
Lehman said Sept. 10 it would sell 55 percent of the investment unit, part of Chief Executive Officer Richard Fuld's plan to keep the 158-year-old firm independent. After its shares dropped 53 percent in the next two days, Fuld, 62, began talks with companies including Bank of America Corp. to sell all of Lehman, potentially derailing the investment-management auction.
``It's still going to be a premier property,'' said Eric Weber, a managing director of Freeman & Co., a New York-based financial-services consulting firm. ``Three years from now, you can take it public, if you can get your hands on it.''
Hellman & Friedman LLC, the San Francisco-based buyout firm started by Warren Hellman, may also have submitted a bid, according to the people. Representatives for Lehman and the private-equity firms declined to comment.
Revenue of $2.3 Billion
The buyout companies are angling to own a business with assets of $273 billion headed by former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker George Walker, 39. The New York-based firm proceeded with the auction because the private-equity firms continued to express interest in a deal, according to the people. While Lehman aimed to complete the sale by late next month, the process may be disrupted by a takeover of the company, perhaps as soon as this weekend.
The private-equity firms may get the investment business at a discount. Lehman's asset-management unit earned $361 million on $2.3 billion of revenue this year through August, according to a Sanford Bernstein research note at that time. The report valued the unit at $7 billion, including stakes in hedge-funds not included in the sale.
Lehman announced on Sept. 10 a $3.9 billion loss, the biggest in its history, after $5.6 billion of writedowns on real-estate loans and mortgages. The stock has fallen more than 94 percent this year and is valued below $3 billion, less than St. Petersburg, Florida-based Raymond James Financial Inc., the largest regional brokerage firm.
Private-equity firms including Blackstone Group LP and Carlyle Group had weighed bids for the investment unit and opted to stay out of the auction, according to people familiar with the process.

Oh, common guys, give Scott props for creativity. As unlikely that his suggestions would be followed, at least the concept of economic equanimity is appealing.Got a better idea that won't cost the taxpayer a bundle? Reply
