I really don't think that it was necessary for lehman's to declare bankruptcy but feel that after the US government bailing out others they should have also considered helping Lehmans. I think that they have created an even bigger problem, and think of the lost money by shareholders. The government has created another down draft that will not be felt for a few months but think about it...the shareholders themselves maybe middle upper class citizens are now out every dollar invested in that bank and are now sitting with nothing as the SEC pushed Lehmans into the Pinksheets today Sept 18 2008. Many of those people have lost much of their life savings. What about the employees that were given stock options and thought of their shares in Lehmans as retirement. It just does not cut the cake...I think that this all moved way to fast and I truly think that the US government should have jumped and given some sort of a lifeline to Lehmans. I think there is bigger trouble coming yet.
Lehman Brothers ended in 2008.

Since the Lehman Brothers collapse last September, gold prices have risen almost 13 per cent in the past 12 months. Bullion hit a record high of ,034 an ounce in March 2008.
It is still open to interpretation. I believe it to be September 15, 2008 the day the Lehman Brothers collapsed. The Dow had its biggest point drop ever.
September 15, 2008
The banking sector (or the finance industry in the broader sense) is the one that triggers global recession. In 2008 for instance, the collapse of Lehman Brothers created panic in the market, creating cascades of damages to the banking systems, which triggered a domino effect in the global scope (global crisis). The impact of the global crisis made the banking system more vigilant, more prepared for other crises in the future (that is inevitable) by adding more capitals that can withstand the severe scenarios during crisis. Timothy Geithner and his team did a 'stress test' during the 2008 crisis to determine how ill or how prepared the banks were.
