I'd say that's a pretty accurate statement. Is it no wonder the stock is being artificially bid up by those who want the deal to go through? Too bad 1/3 of stock is owned by Bear employees. I think at this point people could care less if it's worth $2 or $0 (what's the difference?). I smell mutiny...unless of course, there are some Benedict Arnolds in Bear's camp. Oh this will be interesting.

Dr. Hussman is right, of course. But he is talking about principles and values in a society that is largely valueless, where morality is viewed by most as merely a pragmatic alternative. That's the sad part: as the situation changes, so do the values of some of those in power.

Hussman's Strategic Growth Fund has a negative cumulative return over the past 4 years. Why do so many people pay attention to what he says? His money management skills are clearly horrible. The only reason he had a good return in 2001-2004 was due to value outperforming growth as the internet bubble burst. Since then, a 100% treasury money market fund would have been better by a large margin over Hussman. I can't figure out why he has $3 billion in the fund.
