JPMorgan to buy Bear for $2 a share By JOE BEL BRUNO and MADLEN READ,
AP Business Writers
Just four days after Bear Stearns Chief Executive Alan Schwartz
assured Wall Street that his company was not in trouble, he was forced
on Sunday to sell the investment bank to competitor JPMorgan Chase for
a bargain-basement price of $2 a share, or $236.2 million.
The stunning last-minute buyout was aimed at averting a Bear Stearns
bankruptcy and a spreading crisis of confidence in the global
financial system sparked by the collapse in the subprime mortgage
market. Bear Stearns was the most exposed to risky bets on the loans;
it is now the first major bank to be undone by that market's collapse.

Take a sheet of paper.
Tear it in half.
Repeat the process until you are down to one molecule. Then tear it in
half.
There should be a considerable explosion.

I think you're about 40 years behind the times. I don't believe
nuclear war is the civilzation changing event we will be seeing any
longer. Massive famine and disease and the crumbling of societies
will be.
