It's losses were $10 billion, most of which was paid-in capital. I high-profile financial failure often signals the end of a market decline. Continental Illinois and Franklin S&L come to mind.

My understanding is that LTCM may have had been on the hook for 1.25 trillion. Such numbers and the attendant risks to both markets and banks are what brought Big Al to the table and in my opinion explain the sedate 25 basis point cut(as some say- to avoid panic). I agree with you. I have to agree also with the fact that AMZN and YHOO are prime bubbles with no foundation. Also figured out the Osicom joke a while back and came out quite ahead on that deal. What are your thoughts on the short term effect of the new filings for BRCM?
