Holdings Inc. and American International Group Inc. The Federal Reserve has been printing money which means it might lead to inflation. All I know is people better start saving your money under your pillow. Im sure things will fix but until then we must prepare ourselves.

One has to wonder why the gov't bails out some institutions and not others. Members of gov't are in bed with many of these financial institutions. For example when the Enron scandal was exposed it turned out that numerous top banking officials where not just aware of the scam but were financially involved and making billions of it yet they received no prosecution whatsoever.

Hymie will crash the stock then buy it for nothing just like in 1929. Just like Enron, inflate the share price and then sell making a killing!

I think they may want to bail out AIG because it is an insurance company and therefore could affect significantly many people, while Lehman in an investment firm, and that means there would just be less investment firms to compete with. One may wonder what kind of regulations the US has with respect to financial institutions, it seems there are no controls on how they operate.

Yep. They make money whether it's up, down, left or right. They've got their bases covered.
