Morgan Stanley considers merger

[Uncle Max]

Tax-payer ?

Where tax payers take all that money? We are spending on two wars in Iraq in Afghanistan; just bailed out Bear, AIG, Freddie and Fannie; trying to enter cold war with Russia because of some small part of Georgia; and now we are going to create a fund to bail out whole Wall Street... I will feel much "better" sending my quarterly tax-check next time.

We live another day to tell our children that "I survived the crash of 2008"

LOL, some of us might have even been employed at Lehman in 1987 when the crash from nowhere happened.... over 20% in a single day without any significant news catalyst, but then trading firms were not levered to 30 to 1.

Yeah, I think Bear and Lehman's demise was due to their own wrongs, was immenent...
