We should all invest in a company with so many financial accolades. Better than Gold or Silver: I love this COMPANY...Retire Early!
When the news is telling people if they have over 200K in the bank to split their money in to seperate accounts you'd think people would realize that we're in for a long road ahead.

Amazing what a difference 3 days makes! A2 to bankrupt in just a few days. This rating system make Moody's look like the big bend over and take it in the but service that it appears to be!
Best Credit Derivatives House: "No house showed more energy in building its credit derivatives franchise in the region last year than Lehman Brothers." "The bank has been the most proactive among institutions in the region in engaging the retail market with credit-linked structured products – its Minibond platform in Hong Kong and Singapore is one of the most successful retail platforms for issuing credit-linked structure." "[Lehman Brothers] was also a leading dealer in the credit options market on Asia names, including asset swap options on convertibles." ??? ah...uh.." booya" ???" Guess I am resolved to be financially ignorant and doom myself to mediocre investment earnings, I don't trust any cubicle dweebs...The big finacial game is rigged and you aint in on the winning side. The money these bmw driving guys "make" comes from somone elses' account.
The 5 trillion dollar derivatives market (not the subprime mortgage mess) where money is "invested" in nothing more than computer models will bring the whole system down.
