“Bamber says "Bear Trap" is not an expose, not a tell-all tale. Instead, he says it's a book about the human drama of watching a venerable global institution's untimely collapse.
‘This (book) just tells the story from someone who's there. It takes the reader and puts them into my seat," he explains. "We all know how this ended, but (this book) is really all about the journey there.’"
-Anthony Cronin, Business Editor The Day’s Business
“You just can’t make this shit up...there has never been a more appropriate description for a situation like the one I lived through beginning on Monday, March 10, 2008. So appropriate did I find the phrase, in fact, that it was the last thing I said to a co-worker, a friend who, because of the time he’d spent on a Navy attack sub, had acquired the nickname of Captain Nemo on the trading floor. And so perfect a summation of our situation was it that the phrase became something of a battle cry for the two of us as the days went by, a sort of inside joke that made the pain of our demise more bearable. And it started on Monday, March 10, 2008, the day that, in my mind, came to be known as the beginning of the end.”
–From the Introduction

Nothing however could have prepared the firm for the sudden death spiral that would lead to its takeover for a pittance.

An Awful Book
By Avid Reader
The rating system requires that a reviewer give a book at least one star. A real shame because it is too generous with this book.
The author plays the victim card to the max. If only Bear Stearns received a capital injection all would be cured, says he. He completely overlooks the fact that the need for capital long pre-dated that last week plus of the firm's life. He glosses over that fact as well as the implications of the stunning implications of the 37 to 1 debt to equity that Bear had before the world changed. It's someone else's fault that the firm failed? Bear's capital would be wiped out if their assets declined in value by less than 3%. Think about that. THREE PERCENT.
And his discussion about how the decline in mortgage related securities was at the core of Bear's problems completely ignores the fact that Bear was itself a major player in the creation, sale and investment in these toxic securities.
So, at the end of the day, Bear lost it's capital because it held toxic securities it should have known better about, it acquired it with great gobs of borrowed money and was thinly capitalized. No where do you see that in this mess of a book.
The conspiracy theory that Bear was prevented from dealing with others at the end of it's life - especially foreign buyers who could complement their overseas operations with Bear's US presence - is pathetic. The stabilization of Bear precedent to its sale required a government based $30 billion loan through a bank. Does anyone believe that the US government could have or would have done so with a foreign entity whose finances it was unfamiliar with? Since the sale had to be achieved quickly to ensure that the contagion didn't spread through the system, a foreign acquirer was almost per se incapable of getting anything done over a weekend. Witness Barclay's desire to do something with Lehman in its last days, only to see it's own regulator say no.
And the philosophical analogues in this book goes on for pages ad in finitim. BORING - and an important and annoying tool in deflecting responsibility.
There are many other books that gives the full picture of Bear and it's fate. This one is to be avoided.
