Who said they had to? Moreover, in a 'free market' financial market, what gives them the right to arrange a marriage, extending specific guarantees and terms, backed by taxpayer dollars, to one particular firm, and granting that one firm poison arrows to thwart other bids? I'm surprised to...

This deal doesn't get done for anywhere near $2. For all the talk of bond holders, balance sheets and the 'heft' of JP Morgan (backed by a Fed lifeline), it doesn't get done for anywhere near $2. The innuendo, opinions, analysis, arguments, dissection, scrutiny, lawsuits, and overall...

Doesn't he have a couple more screen names? I can't remember them right now, but I swear he had at least 2 others.

I believe in God, as I can not envision a material universe without a beginning or end, but I left organized religion a long time ago. Having said that, foods mentioned in the Bible are the healthiest foods. Whole wheat (bulgur), other grains such as rye and oats, lentils, olive oil...

Some say you can't fight the fed, JP Morgan and the creditors of Bear Stearns, with many of the creditors seeking to acquire larger shares of BSC stock to obtain a controlling voting block so as to approve the JPM 'buyout.' In fact, Ritholz, who makes a lot of sense often, subscribes to this...

I do believe the smart ones who have been long and right commodities would be selling and even shorting most now. IMHO.

This is definitely the best trader's market since 03. If you are consistently profitable trading a market like this, you are in heaven, are that rarest of species, and should be bagging money by the truckload.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! So Cramer was acting in place and stead of the Federal Reserve, telling the person who asked him about BSC not to withdraw money because he had concerns about the solvency of Bear Stearns!!!! That's his explanation??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

UPDATE: Bear Debt Holders May Be Buying Shares To Try To Sway Deal Vote 8:16 AM ET - Dow Jones News By Alistair Barr SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones) -- Bear Stearns debt holders are so keen on the J.P. Morgan Chase acquisition that they may be resorting to an extreme measure to ensure the...

Okay, I'm in on some bull puts on BSC. There's way too much noise now for this to go through cleanly the way JP Morgan, creditors of BSC and, apparently, the fed, had hoped. And besides, big institutional firms that held large blocks of BSC have joined with Lewis and BSC employees. THIS...

Good questions. I think it's all up in the air given that a vote has to take place and maybe because some of the lawsuits that have been filed have been asking for injunctive relief and TROs and such.

Thanks guys. The whole BSC issue has been really bothering me since it all spun out of control. I was trying to figure out what was behind the price action since 'the deal' was announced by JPM and the Fed. Too many things didn't make sense. I posted these two article because it sort...

Arguing with papertrader....oops...I mean Hedgefundtrader is an exercise in futility. You're arguing with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, and beat you with experience.

Great, great article. But hey, I may just be biased and all the empirical data cited is fabricated. I mean, I know the permabulls don't think economic fundamentals, such as consumer spending, matter when it comes to earnings and equity market performance. Nor do capital inflows or...

Empirical data shows it going to 1400 and beyond? Oh really? LMAO! You are absolutely and truly comical. Think about this - Goldman was up $25 today, as it reported profits that shrank 53% from a year ago quarter. Their business will continue to shrink, now that investment banking...

No. Think about this - Goldman was up $25 today, as it reported profits that shrank 53% from a year ago quarter. Their business will continue to shrink, now that investment banking, consulting, selling CDOs and underwriting IPOs are all dwindling aspects of their revenue flow. What will...

Just for the record, OldTrader is the very first person on ET that I've ever personally insulted. He initiated the personal attacks, but I should not have stooped to his level. I think the consensus is pretty clear on what Cramer meant when he made that call (and others) on BSC in the...
