...With Bear Stearns down the crapper, and FMAE, FMAC, and Lehman Bros. soon to be history, probably want to be keeping a close eye on further crapshoots Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs for the next 6 months... own their stock at your own huge risk.
Greenspan calls it the 'worst economy' he's ever seen... duhh-hh, like anyone with a cerebellum didn't already know that.
(And in case you were wondering, Lehman's CEO last year took in compensation valued at $22.1 million for his efforts and golf-playing --- at the time, Lehman was credited (propagandized) with steering relatively clear of the mortgage crisis and ended the year at $87+ per share --- now they're under $4 per share as the truth gets out... How long before it gets out about Merrill, Morgan, and Goldman... Thanks to the practices of Bush/Cheney cronies many of our major financial institutions may eventually be up for sale to the highest foreign bidder they can locate... let's see, America as a fully-owned subsidiary of China perhaps...)
