If I knew the Fed would give me $250 million to buy Bear, I’d have applied for the deal!

Then skim $5 million and run. Don't be greedy and run off with the entire $250 million.:-)

Yeah well, the estimated legal fees alone to handle the whole mess, clock it at $6 billion.

Still Morgan got a deal. Their stock is up almost $10 billion on the news - the market's best guess as to what Bear will really be worth, shorn of its financial distress.
