After Lehman whos next ?

The storm across wall street just got stronger, With American financial institutions in a deeper trouble than ever, More and more names spring up in who's next list of troubled financial's.

Late Sunday the 94-year-old Merrill Lynch agreed to sell itself to Bank of America Corp for $50 billion. At $50 billion, Merrill is being sold at about two-thirds of its value of one year ago and half its all-time peak value of early 2007,The deal values Merrill at $29 a share.

The other scrambler is AIG( American International Group) which has run out funds to even last for few more days. It has seeked $40 billion bridge loan from FED. With credit rating agencies like Standard & Poor's put AIG's ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications,and warning to downgrade the stock if it doesnt raise capital soon enough, seems like wall street should be prepared for another saga similar to Lehman.
