Has Bear Stearns ("BS", amusing initials) profited from people in other countries? Will the US be the only one rescuing BS? In a global economy, isn''t every of their customers involved?

Maybe I am full of BS (and not Bear Stearns), but I don''t understand.

As Americans are nothing more than spectators at this jackals feast hosted by the FED...an unconstitutional and venal entity owned by international banks and operated for their pleasure and profit...I have nothing to say about this swindle, save that Greenspan and Bernacke would make splendid bookends on the gallows.

Every investor of stocks that each investment is a risk. The government should not help the few and the wealthy that comprise the stock holders of this company who failed to realize its risks far out weighted the profits. These high rollers should fall, they played their cards all wrong.

To be fair, the Feds should bail out the itty bitty mom and pop loan shops that also dabbled in the potentially lucrative but extremely risky market

either that or put it all in bear sterns ... and wait for the sweeter deal that may be offered.

if you did that in the first few days you would have increased your investment by five-fold.
