I believe the Treasury and the "Fed" reacted appropriately by not "bailing out" Lehman. The crux of the crisis is to restore confidence in our free market economy and our banking system. As a former S&L executive, mortgage-backed secutities trader, FDIC bank examiner and Merrill Lynch employee, I have been involved in the banking, securities and mortgage markets for thirty-five years. I believe the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and banking regulators have done exactly what was needed to bring a little stability to the markets. More importantly, they have brought a little calm to a situation that had the potential to incite a "depression era panic" to our banking and credit system. -- Robert, Chula Vista
