Will the Fed let Lehman Fail?

Depends how you look at it.

You can still make millions off people you screw over, run a world class company into the ground, land with a $50 million golden parachute while your peons file bankruptcy, have multiple 10 digit bank accounts, an IQ of 160, and become a industry specialist making $50000/hr training fortune 500 companies how to do the same thing you did and still be an idiot.

Why? Because it’s happening.

Call it karma, fate, judgement, yin yang or whatever you like, but eventually what goes around comes around in this life or the next, or worse, your kids.

Not realizing all actions have a consequence makes you an idiot in my book. Not caring is even worse.

maybe there is no rhyme or reason to any human action in the universe. Kind of comforting to beleive in karma, or hell, or nay sort of ultimate regulatory agency, but probably there’s nothing there. Just us, alone. And moreover, the guy doing well probably doesn’t even remotely perceive himself as seeing himself as “screwing” anyone over. What does he think. probably something like whatever the mission statement is….and is there really any divine retribution in store for someone playing financial games? I don’t know. i tend to doubt it…

I’m sure the upper managers at Lame men have more money than me although I’m doing just fine thank you. I’m not talking about them personally, but their performance running Lame men. If you were a shareholder of Lame men you’d probably be pretty unimpressed with their performance. Pretty pathetic job for these over educated incompetents. Maybe they should hire some 23 year old guy with an associates degree. I mean how much worse could he really do? I think their stock is down like 85%.

Right.

And to answer the original question about bailing out Lehman?

I don’t know, but they bailed out Bear Sterns and Frannie, but the latter was a problem caused by the Government. Still, doesn’t mean they should have bailed them out, especially when Paulson said institutions must be allowed to fail.

So then I ask myself, why wouldn’t they bailout Lehman?

One, they really can’t afford to b/c they’ll need to bailout WaMu. Two, Lehman is probably not regarded as critical to the market as Frannie, but then they’re not all that different from Bear and they sponsored that bailout so who knows.
