A New Banker in Town

J.P. Morgan Chase Manhattan Chemical Manufacturers Hanover Bank One First Chicago National Bank of Detroit Bear Stearns

Bear Stearns has been around since 1923.
I wonder if the Bear Stearns logo will survive in any form.

My grandfather worked on Wall Street at Halsey Stuart (became part of Bache). I think he'd be laughing all the way to the new bank, because he would have shorted it.
Thursday: $57/share
Friday: $30/share
Sunday: $2/share

The guys that bet wrong lost...and those that shorted it won BIG.

That's capitalism. God Bless America (not God **** America, as Obama's guy would have it).
