Economic Scorecard

As We All Keep Reading About Failures In The Markets, I Have Decide To Put Together A List Of Dropouts/Buyouts/Rescues And Failures.

This Is Only What I Have Cobbled Together In A Short Amount Of Time. Further Input Is Welcomed Especially From Those In Overseas Markets.

I Have A Large Blank Area, Please Scroll Down.

Failed Lender	Method	New Holder
Countywide	Mandated Rescue	Bank Of America
Freddie Mac	Takeover	Government
Fannie Mae	Takeover	Government
Merrill Lynch	Sold	Bank Of America
Bear Stearns	Bailout/Sale	JP Morgan
Lehman Brothers	Bankruptcy
AIG	Bailout	-80% Government Shares
WaMu	Takeover/Sale	JP Morgan
	Overseas
Bradford & Bingley	Nationalized	Government UK
Glitnir HF	Takeover	-75% Government Iceland
Hypo Real Estate	Bailout	German Institutions
Fortis	Rescue	Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg

So The Question Is, "What/Who Is Next?"

Well, You've Got Goldman Sachs And Morgan Stanley Who Have Changed Status To "Holding Banks." The Latter Has Already Sold A 5 Billion Stake To A China Firm While Also Devaluing It's Holdings By 9.4 Billion.

JP Morgan Is Busying Itself Buying All The Crap It Can. They May Be Betting On A Bailout, However, They Came Out Good After The Great Depression. Due To Following Ethical Practices And Not Just "Staying Within The Law." If They Have The Same Mindset Now, It'd Be A Good Investment If, If You Have Any To Invest.

Wachovia Is Currently Prettying Itself Up For Citigroup.
