The History of Lehman Brothers

Quote from Mecro:

Right, I am a socialist because I am against bail-outs, nice touch. Good logic you got there.

And your assumption is WAY off, but nice try anyway. Bitter about losing your cleaning job at Lehman? Or are you the Cozi delivery guy?

well, i will not lose much time with you as i see your other posting activity.... also last thing i will tell you is who i am.

it think they were just unlucky. paulson tested the
water with them to find out how markets react if he
does not step in. he found out ... but they were already
drowned.

I think you're right.

I'm guessing you're the bookkeeper at Cozi, judging from your posts. A little hint, try checking the dates before you make assumptions.

I stand by what I said, and I am far from the only one. Lehman and the likes are parasitic institutions. Good riddance to Lehman & Bear. Sadly, Goldman & Morgan Stanley won't follow, due to SOCIALIST policies which they are influencing with full force. Meanwhile you call me the socialist loser for pointing this out.

why do you think they are parasitic? I agree that they should not have been bailed out.
