I just read an article suggesting that investors who have more than 100,000.00 in their accounts may want to spread the money around, to insure that if things worsen that they would still have funds that would be insured by the FDIC.  According to a Mr.Roubini who is with NYU's Stern School and who is one of the many suggesting this move, is also saying that it should be spread among different firms. The article is on Yahoo Finance Website. To listen to the comments that are being made now...one has to wonder exactly how much information is actually trickling down to us (the general public)...they certainly do not want a panic on their hands.

I was also thinking about what you said Robert, about why they bailed out Bear Stearn's and not Lehman's? Perhaps too much or too many to bailout?
