The Beggar's Banquet

One of the factors, according to Bernanke, in deciding to "rescue" Bear Stearns was the possibility that they might file Chapter 11. Because of this, I am thinking of filing Chapter 11 too.

Dear Ben:

I hope you don't mind the informality, but I feel like you should always be able to call your banker by his first name.

I noticed this morning that one of the factors in deciding to "rescue" Bear Stearns was the possibility that they might file Chapter 11. Because of this, I am thinking of filing Chapter 11 too (I have less net worth than most of the people you bailed out over there, and I did not act with the stupidity and reckless abandon of Bear's management). Any chance you are willing to send $30 billion my way too.

Thank you for your willingness to make sure I am every bit as well taken care of as the deserving folks at Bear Stearns.

Respectfully yours,

Neil Grossman
