Eleven Years in the Making: Breaking Even on JPMorgan’s Purchase of Bear Stearns

It was not a screw up. JPM wanted to close the deal very quickly and didn't want bidders coming out of the shadows. $2 was a low ball bid pulled out of hat.

No. They screwed up some of the legal language around their guarantee of the debt. There were no other bidders as JPM had secured backstops from the Fed.

Who can disagree with a blame the lawyers' scenario?
 
In life, timing is everything.
Here is the quote from famous football vince lombardi: winning isn't everything. It is the only thing.
My corollary is timing isn't everything. It is the only thing.
When one is late to do the right thing.

Is that a video of a typical day trader?:)
My shot would be, - period, prior to breaking even,

so yes :rolleyes:

( by any means i didn't had you in mind, damn, now gave a second look and it might look at first so, nah, it's all about timing in general, still, honestly, one could think so, cuz you wrote after ironchef did, so it sorta looks like that)

Nah, had beginners in mind that miss timing, so the mental stop instead of 5% - becomes 20%.

And i like guys reaction on the right.
