美国政府为什么会救AIG，而不救Lehman Brothers??

太大而不能倒的理由

上面的解释好像还是不太令人信服。期待更好的解释

New York Times 16th September

   Mr. Paulson concluded that the financial system could survive the collapse of Lehman,which has shown signs of weakness for months.

New York Times 16th September
   The offcial said that,several weeks ago Mr.Paulson had a list in his mind of major in stitutions that might not be able to resolve their huge investments in troubled real estate and that the list consisted of Fannie Mae,Freddie Mac,Lehman Brothers,Mrrill Lynch and Washington Mutual.The official said Mr. Paulson also decided that it was paramount to first resolve the problems at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,the two huge mortgage finance companies,before turning to the others.

保险的钱是最稳定，限制最多的...投行的则是投机性最大的，这次连美国的保险业都深陷其中....记得墨西哥经济危机的时候就是投行卖的和墨西哥货币挂钩的金融产品，当时把风险全部转移到社保等一系列追求低收益低风险的资金，怎么就没人管了....什么东西都有个由头，也就是市场公认的东西，比如说中国崛起，比如说美国人人都能实现的美国梦.而正是大家莫名其妙的认同感造成一次次的金融危机.....

这样做是为了让其他金融机构引以为戒，不要有依赖思想。

可能是因为保险的功能主要是保障和防范风险，而投行的功能主要是投资和投机。

保险事关普通百姓  投行还是大亨的舞台

民贵君轻啊！

美国国际的牵涉面更广，涉及的自己更庞大
