      Any investment with the potential to lose money is a good buy. At least that's the way it seems with Temasick's foray into ailing banks.

      Temasick is not investing in Lehman but Barclays is a potential bidder.biggrin.png

      If Temasek did not invest into Lehman Brothers before, they will soon be owning parts of the assets - human resources - belonging to the Lehman Brothers, as the Barclays Bank - {which Temasek has dumped a few billions to own a minority stake} - is making attempts to buy parts of the the Lehman Brothers.

       

      Barclays is not bidding to swallow the entire Lehman Brothers and assume all the debts, but is picking the prime cherries - the human talents - that helped to build Lehman Brothers prior to the rot eating into its entire body.

      Not really, it can be an opportunity, if u got cash in hand, it good to buy when they are down..the tide will rise again. That is what capitalism is all about. up and down, up and down..
