FED BAILING OUT BEAR STEARNS

This topic covers the controversial announcement that the Federal Reserve Bank and J.P. Morgan are orchestrating the acquisition of Bear Stearns by J.P. Morgan to stave off a classic run on a major investment bank. The thinking is that Bear Stearns is 'too big to fail' and must be backed by the federal government -- at least for the short-term to fend off a domino effect in failures.
