    i feel for my colleagues who were let go. if i had a choice i would rather we had a reductions in wages or hours across the board. i have no issues with firing people who do a poor job. but layoffs are about economics. i realize it's just business. but it's cold and it's short sighted.

    @Nomad, 1:35 though I am not a fan of regulation myself, you can't deny that although regulation didn't prevent LTCM, it helped avert a disaster. it didn't prevent Bear but it did provide peace of mind (i won't even dare use the "r" word because thats pure dog-poo) i agree that regulation isn't a good thing but a safety net is nice to have in times like these

    I don't see how this transaction is going to fly. From all the articles it appears the only other bidders were JC Flowers and KKR. I understand BSC has some major liabilities but if I was a shareholder I would not be happy with a closed auction like this. Like one of the other commenters said above, this is probably just a floor. I bet the fed put 'em up to this. LTCM all over again.
