This is an article from the UK. I am not sure how much truth there is in this speculation. Clearly, they are trying to sell a story of "the US bail out may not bail us out after all."
"Well chap, keep a stiff upper lip."
OTOH:
"Sources close to Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch indicated the banks might choose not to participate in the bail-out as there is a growing view on Wall Street that the market may be bottoming out."I was skeptical too, but this reporter is in NY. Taking the speculation with a *grain* is a good idea, I googled the keywords in the title and didn't come up with anything [yet.]
