Wall Street has always been about greed. Senior managers at many firms lost focus and only looked for the quick buck, so now they have to pay the price. That said, the fat cats will still get their million dollar bonuses, and it's the grunts that lost their life savings.
Grrrr
I wonder how the Fed justifies bailing out Bear and not Lehman?
As far as who's next? Could be anyone, but you may want to short WaMu. ;-)

M - Ur right - this really doesnt effect the higher ups...its the ppl that had their retirement and savings money in stock purchase plans, and then will get a pink slip in the next few weeks that will be hurting. Some crazy shit!

Wish I could short WaMu - but I think its on the no shorting list........

Oh well!

Now get back to work!

I always feel "safe" being in education, and I hope my NY pension remains safe. Safe but poor...
