  5. Globalists just aquired another into their nest..and this is just the beginning of more wealth transfer as they tank our economy and dollar even more. Nothing like good "wholesale" pricing to go in and buy up more parts of the American economy to control.

    High oil, $hit dollar, and banking/mortgage companies falling apart from "allowed" over leveraging and destructive investment/loan instruments..all a part of the plan! The American economy sinking to third place as we speak (the real truth...behind the EU and China)!

  10. How sad!!!

    The mortgage secondary market recently dried up and the mortgage-backed-securities (MBS) are the cheapeast in the last 20 yrs. Since Bear is long the MBS inventory and has to mark-to-market it, there is no way out.

    The poor employees are all wiped out together with the investors.


    Bear should have borrowed more capital last year when the going was still good.
