I see quite a bit. Investing is all about risk and return. When a
company is sold, such as BARRA, or Peoplesoft, or Palm/US Robotics/3Com,
(all companies I went through this same type of thing with) investors
need to know what possible outcomes to expect, and who the players are.
The players sometimes include governmental/regulatory entities as well
as private investors.
I have read only a few other musings of respected financial pundits,
some claim the Bear Stearns "save" was critical to avoid major meltdown
of the markets (something about not knowing what one's own exposure was,
as well as not knowing what one's clients' exposures were).
