Bank of America to be Rube of Honor Suitor at Lehman Wedding
2008-09-12
I give the link of Naked Capitalism because of the number of other news links concering this story

Lehman has been more or less widely reported for six months to be the next investment bank to be swallowed up by Treasury-arranged "buyouts."

#5  I hope the home loan business doesn't go back to the way it used to be, where you couldn't get a loan unless you could prove you didn't even need one. That would be a pretty big price to pay for all these assholes to do the biggest smash and grab I've ever seen. They get the money, we get screwed, how much more capitalist can you get Pebbles?

#4  Exactly Mike.

Saw a vid of Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan) say about buying Bear Sterns "There's a difference between buying a house and buying a house on fire."

#3  Lehman is already dead. Let's not go throwing cash into their coffin. When their stock gets cheap enough, someone will buy them. If not, who cares. Lehman means nothing.

#2  Loads of rich people will lose money unless the taxpayer bails out this bankrupt company!

Come on America, get capitalist.

#1  Oh no, not again. Just why does Lehman need to be saved as opposed to being liquidated, anyway?
