Bernanke: No Firm Is Too Big To Fail

July 8, 2008 11:47 PM

perplexed.jpgBernanke’s comments lately about “no firm is too big to fail” and his insistence on this issue has me wondering. Does he know something we do not? Is there a big firm, presumably a financial that is near collapse? Why would he make these these comments several times for no reason? I get that he gets questions about Bear Stearns often and that people perceived the company too big to let fail and they had no choice but to bail it out or risk a financial collapse.

But is there more to it than that? Something does not pass the smell test on this. We will see.
