Trench Warfare Over Lehman Brothers: Avoid the Crossfire, says Howard Lindzon

it is a good buy, don't miss the chance

Lehman has still good business and has a good future but it is wiser that it will taken over because once the confidence is lost from the Chieh Executive better for him to go and the company will go too....... It is good value if some other Bank took it.......That life.......No..choice baby........

I'm sure Uncle Howard didn't really say "two [sic] crowded." Jeez Howard. Fly would never let you in with your shirt untucked, and your face unshaven.

Just2clowns here --- talkin' Lehman as if they hadda clue lol...

LEH should ride the STORM!

I thought so to. the company has great leadership and Paulson is no idiot.

Yeah...and I know exactly what hole this is going to hit every investor AND taxpayer in the end.....

you're the "best and brightest"?

What is the hurry. A good deal takes time

Why buy now? It will be cheaper when boards are over the windows.

Out of Focus is gone???

Really frustrating!! All it takes is someone to make a mistaken comment, (United Airlines), or make a false comment to cause a kneejerk reaction and hence skim some profit while others suffer!!!

Trench Warfare is not an option for the defeated Army......Surrender is better. All the Director must go and The Chief Executive no choice the option is reciever but it would be wiser to serrender it all the management and the company itself sadly it is Lehman Brother.The early the bettel.......Asta La Vista .......Adios Amigo...........No confidence in you all sad Gentlemen.........Mamy are interested and canning your portfolio,....I know for sure Lehman has a good future for someone else........Mate......Check......Mate.......

It is a disgrace that the government regulators allowed the short sellers to destroy LEH. It was functioning fine just a few weeks ago, even with the real estate losses. So a few short sellers make billions and now the Government and TaxPayers have to fund a bail out, and thousands of Lehman employees lose their jobs, and another part of the economy tanks. The short sellers have destroyed the entire independent securities/investment banking firm industry. Now we have to rely on the giant money centers banks -- big players in the subprime crises, following the S&L debacle, following the third world loan debacle..what's next, credit card crash???

Financials such as the FED, a private bank not a Federal institution have been given too much leeway and not enough oversight by Congress. In the 1860's the discount for green backs was 25% on the west coast compared to gold or silver. The FED promised to distribute the moneys throughout the nation for 5% plus handling all the checking problems for our massive nation. It seemed like a good idea at the time but it allowed them to gain access to the public's pocket book. The FED has been making a profit since 1913 and shipping the profit to the banks in Europe and this hemisphere since then. Every recession and depression since 1913 has been caused by the FED's mishandling of the money supply. Congress has not been smart enough in financial matters to understand what has been going on. The exception in Congress has been given monies for election campaigns that allowed the recipients to stay in office. We need to put the FED under a microscope. If we demand our Congressmen AND WOMEN to do this, they will comply.

why didn't they sell the CMBS, RBS, CDO assets in early 2007 when risk spreads were tighter than ever!

Stock ownership is now on such an unlevel playing field ( Hedge funds back to naked shorting and no uptick) that any stock can be driven into the gound. Leman, WM, and then Citigroup while the SEC says OK.

Regulators allowed LEH to fail ,they should be accountable. Allowing the shorts to buy NAKED ,the market is becomig LAS VEGAS. The regulators should be PEMOVED or steo in and put up the money to save LEH . They caused the problem .they should PAY.

Richard S Fuld Jr has been thrown into the water and must sink or swim. Had he been on the Goldman Sachs luxury liner, no doubt Mr Paulson would have thrown him a life line. It sure helps to be a part of the GS fleet. Maybe we should investigate to see what is keeping the GS fleet afloat!

Howard should tuck in his shirt
