In an attempt to speed majority shareholder approval, Bears board was

shareholder approval.

I was wondering how a sale like this could happen without shareholder
approval. *So the deed isn't done at the moment.

Sounds to me like the Bear Stearns board is trying to get as much out of the
deal for stockholders as possible (duty to stock holders) while getting the
deal done. *I guess going into bankruptcy is still an option. Pick your

bail out. *What does that tell you?

My "hatred" is the angry of an American taxpayer getting screwed.

If you pay taxes, you are the hook for this deal....whether it is at
$2 or $10 or $1000 a share.

What we are seeing now is a bankrupt company trying to get a 500%
better deal...backed by the American taxpayer.

This company is worth practically NOTHING...and is BANKRUPT....and the
American taxpayer is being asked to bail them out.

I guess if I could make 500% more on a deal with no risk I would try
too...if I had the ethics of a Republican.

So Wes...how many more Bear Stearns can you as a taxpayer pay for?

There ARE more coming.
