Too Big To Fail?
I am sure we'll all be hearing about moral hazards and the like in the wake of the Bear Stearns bailout by JP Morgan and the Fed. This is scary stuff. Henry Blodget talks about the claim that Bear is too big to fail in this post on SAI.
My question is who else is too big to fail but would fail without a similar bailout? How many more of these are coming our way?
Ugh

Which bank is next? Citi has been bailed once in its life by Prince Alwaleed, and again in the current crisis. 3rd strike and they SHOULD be out, but they're simply to big. Nonetheless, they're teetering on the edge, and they're so big that not even they know all the crap they have on their balance sheet.
As a VC, you rely to a large extent on a strong market for exits, and thus are VERY long on the US. How do you defend yourself against a prolonged downturn if you're a US focused firm? I'm interested in joining a firm, but I'm thinking maybe I'd be better off at an Asian fund or even a global fund of fund (like GIC). Is it possible US VCs turn into their European counterparts (low returns)?
