I have 2 broker purchased CD's with Lehman Bros... will these STILL be protected by FDIC ?? Has anyone taken over - bought out Lehman Bros ???
Not much EVER on news about Lehman failure... but alot about other banks and wall street. Lehman Bros CD safety is IMPORTANT to people like me.
Please advise update - status of Lehman broker CD's ??

Corporate bonds
I invested 20k in corporate bonds with WaMu, which was due on 1-15-09. Have I lost all my investment? Is there any hope at all of getting anything back? Mind you that on 9-23-08 I received a copy of a letter from Chief Executive Office, Alan Fishman, assuring custormers that everything was fine and dandy.

No evidence WAMU was failing.
I don't get this. How does the government hand 40 billion in assets to Chase for 2 billion? It makes no sense, especially with the bailout only a day or two away. I also read they never even noticed WAMU, they just did it. Doesn't this seem odd?

Savings and checking account holders will not lose their money given a balance of less than $100,000. As the article above states, Lehman Brothers' bankrupcy caused the BIG WaMu depositors to withdraw uninsured funds (anything over $100,000).

wamu investments
what will happen to our wamu investments (mutual funds,) did we lose our investment? Though par value is almost nothing, do we have hope it will still gain in the future, or will this be written off?

You are insured up to 100k wht the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (FDIC) Pulling ones money out of WM, if under 100k, is completely un necessary. This is not 1929, banks have insurance underwriting through the US Gov't.
That said, I personally believe we are headed to a 1929 within the next five years. This was just a sampler. People need to stop buying beyond their means. Loans are for homes and that is IT! Loans are for legal citizens and that's IT! Loans are for those who can afford to pay them and that's IT! It's that SIMPLE!

I'm sure their insured, they are saying that the personal accounts are safe, the only change that regular consumers will see is that statements will probably say JP Morgan Chase instead of WaMu. Unless there have been changes from last night's reports
