#4  $2 a share may be stealing - from JPMorgan - except WE are posting a $30 billion guarantee.

#3  Six months ago they were at $150. I'm just hoping that the idiots management of Bear Stearns don't walk off with hefty golden parachutes.

#2  2 dollars a share in stock. It's stealing, They were at $84 a share on Friday but faced a run on the bank today that would a bankrupted them, so the Fed and J.P. Morgan stepped in to stop a total collapse.

#1  Initial thoughts at Wall Street are that this was a good deal for JPM. Their (JPM) stock is up about 10% as of 1115am in an otherwise down market
