    I'm guessing you're the bookkeeper at Cozi, judging from your posts. A little hint, try checking the dates before you make assumptions.

    I stand by what I said, and I am far from the only one. Lehman and the likes are parasitic institutions. Good riddance to Lehman & Bear. Sadly, Goldman & Morgan Stanley won't follow, due to SOCIALIST policies which they are influencing with full force. Meanwhile you call me the socialist loser for pointing this out.

    why do you think they are parasitic? I agree that they should not have been bailed out.
