Yea if you want exposure to financial firms holding massive amounts of exposed mortgages on their balance sheets because there are no buyers for the paper and they cant wholesale the whole lot then I would say yea go ahead and invest in a few investment banks
I think a lot of banks are only in the beginning stages of pain (even after Bernanke cuts rates by 25 bps Sep 18th)and you might not want to catch falling knives
On the other hand I love GS and JPM at some of these prices but would stay away from Lehman and Bear
what about MS, duh.
yeah i dont plan on buying and holding any ibank, im saying as a pure speculative play i would buy a bank before news hits that they are cutting jobs. obviously these are risky companies with a lot of debt and we dont know if we've seen the last of their problems.
everyone keeps talking about Lehman getting screwed. ive read a lot of news about Bear but whats so bad about Lehman?
