No, they handed JP Morgan an early Christmas present.

Why is everyone so quick to blame The Fed for JPM stealing BSC.
BSC agreed to be bought for $2/share.

No, they handed JP Morgan an early Christmas present. Not if the stockholders have any say about it. Bears-Sterns is up about 30% today to $6.50 or $4.50 more than the JP Morgan deal. I don't see stockholders voting to sell at $2.

Why is everyone so quick to blame The Fed for JPM stealing BSC. BSC agreed to be bought for $2/share. I would imagine the Fed had to do some arm-twisting to get BSC board to sell at a 90% discount. There must be some really ugly stuff on their books. The BSC board wanted to avoid jail, IMHO. But the stockholders won't go along.

I know nothing of this economy stuff but will the prime ever get below 6 or is it disconnec5ted from the other rates?
Just asking

BAC 37.52, +1.56, +4.3%) said it lowered its prime lending rates to 5.25% from 6%, after the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 75 basis points. Bank of America said the rates apply to Bank of America NA, LaSalle Bank NA and LaSalle Bank Midwest NA. Other banks are expected to lower their prime lending rates similarly

Why is everyone so quick to blame The Fed for JPM stealing BSC. That $30 billion non-recourse loan might have something to do with it.
To: Nervous Tick
What do you mean? Gold is the only real money.
Did you know that an ounce of gold bought a nice suit during Roman times and it still does today. It's in the Constitution.

I think if you wait two years, you’ll miss the bottom.
Keep your financing options up to date. I’d be ready to move by next spring.
