THE AIG have been saved by the support of huge pool of federal bank funds, tahnk god for that or else the stocks would have crashed further, the worst affected by lehman episode are mid-capital software and Bpo companies who had them as major clients and more importantly The common middle class man who had put money with faith in LEhmann brothers are the biggest losers .....which makes it much more scary...

AIG was saved thanks to the Federal bank of US, while merril lynch was overpowered and has now been merged with a bigger firm . The lehman brothers has been split into two firms one with good credit which is taken by barclays and another part is has become a unreliable weak credited finance firm.....
