The brokers have become too cheap to pass up. I may be a little early to the party, but the ratios on GS, LEH, JPM, etc. warrant adding them on what I believe is a correction, not the beginning of a bear market. These may hurt me in the next several weeks or months, but longterm, they are no brainers.

Why not just short them until they become profitable and then long them? I pretty much agree with you, but I've got a different rating on LEH.

Boy are you early. They have not even revealed their problems yet. It will be about 18 - 24 months before they will have their footing again. Right after housing bottoms and they have stopped taking hits from that overpriced debt.

Lehman brothers has kept the quietest of the bunch with the writedowns etc. They used to own a couple of B/C lenders that borrowed on anything. These fated subisidiaries names are BNC/ Aurora Lending. Both huge, rolling balls of subprime fecal matter.
