cnbc’s Jim Cramer screams that “Bear Stearns is fine!” and “NO! NO! NO!” … “Bear Stearns is not in trouble” … “Don’t move your money from Bear! That’s just silly! Don’t be silly!” to investors while Bear Stearns was still trading at over $60 a ahare, down from a high of $171 just over a year ago ( dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com ). This just 5 days before Bear Stearns sold to JP Morgan for $2 a share, in a Fed brokered bailout. Reuters (03.16.08): “Bear’s stock closed on Friday at $30.85, valuing it at $3.5 billion, after tumbling 46 percent that day. Shares in the fifth largest US investment bank, which employs more than 14000 people, hit a record high of more than $171 in January 2007. …” www.forbes.com
