      Lehman Is Just the Thin Edge of the Wedge
      "Nobody know what is going to happen next". Well if the share market decides to reflect the reality of the financial markets, it will go over a cliff.

      JP Morgan: Buyer's Remorse on Bear Stearns
      I can't get any video from CNBC to play which is probably a blessing particularly if Gasparino is involved. But as to the Bear Stearns deal, this had nothing to do with protecting the system from collapse, the Fed assumed 29 billion dollars of their most toxic rubblish to protect the counter parties from taking the hit. As Galbraith said, the only acceptable form of socialsim in America is socialism for the rich.
      Now it appears that Paulson and Bernanke may at last draw the line with Lehman and let the cards fall where they should. We will just have to wait and see. And of course there are many others coming down the track, WM, Merrill, AIG and maybe citigroup. Boy this is going to get interesting.

      Lehman is Toxic at Any Price
      Peter your headline says it all. Let's just pray that Paulson doesn't relent and let the taxpayers take the fall again for this bunch of parasitic raptors. Remember the top five financials institutions paid out over $100 billion in bonuses over the last three years to these worms who created this monstrosity. And mate, they aint returning one cent of those bonuses no matter how bad things get.

      Diversification Is Your Only Friend
      The most common advice given by so called "experts" it always to diversify. And it's fabulous advice if you want to be poor and stay poor. Diversification is a great strategy for those who don't know what they are doing. Warren Buffet, by the way agrees. There's nothing wrong with putting all your eggs in one basket but you have to know what you're doing and you have to watch that basket very carefully because things can always go wrong.
      I had five great years trading the market up until August last year by picking one or two stocks I liked and then going in with everything I had. But I left the market in August because I could see the dangers that lay ahead and they have got infinitely worse since then. As for diversification, even that won't save you from losing a lot of money in this market.

      Is the Market Confused?
      Babak you consider so many things it amazes me that one thing seems to have totally escaped your notice; the whole financial system underpinning the market is going down the gurgler at an accelerating pace. The stock market seems to have missed it too so I suppose I'm not surprised. They say the market makes very little sense in the short and even medium term but in the long run reality will reign. When reality does reign I have a feeling this market is going to go over a cliff. I also have a feeling you will still be looking at all your wonderful charts and ratios.

      AIG: The Mark-to-Lehman Market
      Felix I think your final paragraph sums it up to a tee. . I just wonder when the share market is going to notice. If the financial backbone of the market is hopelessly impaired, that will bring everything down with it.

      Government Line: This Isn't as Bad as S&L Crisis
      You spend hundreds of millions of dollars in America on the process of electing a President and you end up with someone like George Bush. Now this is a man who apparently has an MBA from some fancy university but he freely admits that economicks is not his strong suit. The world is facing perhaps the greatest financial crisis it has ever seen and you have this amiable dill running the show.
      GOD HELP US ALL

      The Lehman Situation: Brutally Logical, or Patently Illogical?
      Just the Facts my money is on 2: the whole house of cards has started falling and all the smart money knows it and is now running for cover. As for the hedge funds, they are perhaps the ugliest part of this Sodom and Gomorra financial system. They don't give a damn what damage their actions cause, just so long as they can make a buck.

      Lehman Won't Be the Last Major Bank Failure
      Mate, so many shoes are lining up to drop that it looks like the traffic in New York on Friday at 5 pm and still the stock market doesn't get it. I've heard about denial but this belies belief.

      Good News for Lehman Brothers? I Don't Think So
      A demented casino mentality has infected the whole market but that's hardly surprising given the way Wall Street operates. Reports out this morning say that Paulson will not even consider putting any public money at risk in a buyout of Lehman. They have had more than enough help already. Let's hope that sanity will prevail and this turns out to be true.

      Could Lehman's Failure Cause a Systemic Meltdown?
      You put if perfectly The Realist.
      The thing I hate most about short selling is that it allows all of these apologists to blame the practice, which I don't like by the way,
      for bringing the whole financial system to the edge of the abyss. Even cheerleader number one, Mr Cramer has admitted ( I heard him say it) that he was deceived by Lehman into believing that short selling was at the seat of their problems. Reading a lot of these posts, it is little wonder America is heading down the gurgler at light speed. I just wonder how long the PPT can keep this teetering sham on two legs.
