Wall Street Graveyard Bear Stearns.JPGAs regular readers know, we've got a thing for Wall Street history. So we're really glad that the kids over at Portfolio put together a wonderful interactive feature detailing what happened to some of the once powerful and now vanished Wall Street firms.

Whatever happened to HR Baron? Umm, didn't they clear through Bear? Oops.

Classy.

Hopefully soon we can add Portfolio to the Business Magazine Graveyard.

@MD - where are you now? (so we can avoid your "death touch")

there are so many names missing - Shearson, Alex Brown, Furman Selz, Montgomery, Robbie Steven, Loeb Rhodes, Robinson Humphries, Saloman, Smith Barney, Wasserstien. This goes on if you include some of the Euro firms like Warburg, Morgan Grenfell, Klienwort Benson

for some comic relief, goto www.bearstearnslives.com

isn't it wrong to compare companies snatched up b/c they made for attractive, profitable targets w/companies like Bear, or Shearson?

www.bearstearnslives.com does not provide comic relief. It's a threadbare selection of t-shirts and coffee mugs with an emblem of a yellow Pac-Man figure (shaped somewhat like the Chase symbol) chomping at a smaller symbol representing Bear Stearns. The facade of the Fed Reserve appears in the background. The whole thing seems to come from some anti-Fed Reserve organization.

DB readers: don't bother.
