Priceless Ohh yes. Also part of the speech I missed to point out.

Priceless I hope you are right, but I cant make a case for this. Whatever the outcome is, it will surely last longer than a couple of years. Terms like “generational shift,” “fiat currency being tested,” “prolonged demand destruction” come to mind, when I think about the current state of things.

I’ve heard No. 5 before. Very true. Willy
WFT I was in a meeting for a couple of hours and I missed the most important discussion in this forum! Cheersssss!
my technical/charting analysis is showing support at zero, if we break that level, game over.
Reporters are hiding in the crowd near my office. Cameras and news vans all around the office. Went for drinks with pimp and another friend. A woman comes by, “excuse me, do you work for LEH? Can I buy you drinks? I work for financial news (or something like that–beer was kicking in). Can I get some news?” We basically told her, “I will go down with this ship, and I won’t put my hands up and surrender. There will be no white flag above my door…”
sid3699, that’s cool - did you get her number? I don’t have much trouble finding women to take out, but I’d be delighted if I could find someone who’d take *me* out for drinks. If you decided to pass on the reporter, feel free to send her my way.
Besides, with the way that the market’s been going, I don’t know if I can bank on a big bonus this year…so if anyone feels like paying for drinks, at least I have the presence of mind not to turn them down!
I am at the same shop and I was at my local liquor store picking up goodies. Left office at 2.00 p.m. and a cp from other BB saw me then picked up the bill. Only 45 bucks but still a nice thing to do. So sad but so true.

Bonus?? LOL. If the bank somehow survives and am still there, they will ask me to pay them.
I may be getting a bill next friday instead of a check
After market trading is still on–stock is at $ 3.70
You might consider going in at that level. If the take out price is lower, it’ll be at most only a few bucks a share downside. However, you might get taken out at a higher point point given that the buyer already knows they may have to pay more to keep the shareholders from bitching (remember BSC $2 -> $10?).
If Lehman goes under grab as much Lehman Bros branded shiot you can find and throw it up on ebay. Strangely enough, people pay mega dollars for that kind of stuff.
chuckrox8. that is the last thing on many peoples mind
Can you purchase Leh items at the corporate gift store or something? Maybe you should buy some Leh mugs or teddy bears as a hedge?
lol I still have a box of BSC bears. lol
