Bear Stearns was bailed out by the Fed and JP Morgan yesterday.  Because it was about to collapse.

Their CEO said, two days prior, that the company's balance sheet and capital positions were all strong.  From West Palm Beach, Florida, Alan Schwartz, told the world on CNBC that Bear Stearns had no problems.  All rumors.

"Some people could speculate that Bear Stearns has problems.  None of those speculations are true. ... I don't know where those rumors started. ... We put out a statement that our liquidity and balance sheet are strong."

He lied.  On teevee.
