Lehman is history? … Fed looking for buyer?

Another one bites the dust … ???

Rumors fly as Lehman falls another 40% on WSJ article of higher losses …

CDS spreads for Lehman reaches the Bear Stearns k.o. level …

Rumors of today … this was the reason for the squeeze into the close …

- Lehman will be taken by Bank of America and losses backstopped by the FED as in the Bear Stearns case … could be as soon as tomorrow … but the weekend to be the more “natural” point of time

- FED will be in with an emergency rate cut tomorrow to hold the markets as more and more “Biggies” drop … AIG, Merill Lynch a.o.

- Goldman not interested in Lehman as they think, too many hidden nuclear waste could even k.o. them …

Whatever happens … the wheel starts turning faster and creates a huge problem for the manipulators …
but … at least they create a lot of uncertainty with their FED-move-rumors and the buying attacks of the PPT

Difficult times :)

    i agree with you: cliffhanger in medium term,
    but imo sp500 at 1200 is a crossroad, (bifurcation) in the short term,
    with manipulation, bailout, rate cut, naked short stop & so on
    the stock can bounce another time for one week-month-more?
    like in april may in a nonsense rally.
    dancing and jumping on the cliff?

    no investigation from SEC or other regulator
    about the monster insider trade of late friday?
    i cant find one article on the press.
    is the PPT the insider?

    really think a ratecut this friday?
    0.25%?
    0.5%?

    really? would it near the japan scenario even more then?
    they had deflation no?

    Bounce always possible … even close to likely :)

    Only a rumor … re ratecut …

    Today 11am London time rumor of a Lehman announcement …

    All in all … Fed is playing offensive … Lehman seems to be sold … we will see …
