ParticipantLehman has failed and needs to be acquired like Bear Stearns, but there will not be an overnight price drop like Bear. The Fed has changed the rules since Bear failed, allowing Lehman access to the Fed window. Lehman can barrow money by putting up its worthless paper as collateral, so taxpayers will prop up Lehman stock to some extent.

The real problem though is that their books, and almost everyone else’s are so jam packed with fraud its impossible to know if they are tits up or not.
What you are betting on with LEH is a run on the bank. I have some Kaputs I bought when Bear went tits up and am still underwater on them. I’ll hold till expiration because I think there is a good chance a run will start on LEH, even a small one could be enough to spook the shareholders into panic selling.
Remember the Fed didn’t bail out the equity holders, it mostly bailed out the debt holders.
