Buying BSC for 2 when the clearing business is reported to be worth 20 tell you just how shitty the rest of the crap on their books is.

Don't forget the below:

Bear Stearns's profit exceeded $2 billion in 2006, yet the price JPMorgan is paying is about one quarter the value of the securities firm's headquarters building in midtown Manhattan. The 1.2 million-square-foot, 45-story structure built in 2001 is worth about $1.2 billion, based on the average $1,000 per- square-foot that comparable office space in the city is currently fetching.
 
That tells you there must be some ugly losses on the books that will have to be taken....
