Because, they weren't sitting down with the Federal Reserve all weekend trying to seek a deal. It was not an open bidding process, just more crony capitialism. The Fed arranged this marriage of JP Morgan and Bear Stearns. I wonder how this will affect JP Morgan's earnings. Like you said, the real estate alone that they are acquiring might be worth more than what they paid for Bear Stearns. A sweet deal for JP Morgan.

Looking at the world markets plunging to new 52 week lows, and multi-year lows in some cases, does make you wonder if we are heading for some real economic termoil.
