First, Lehman (LEH) was being closed or sold. Then it was under attack from short sellers.Then it was being taken private.
The latest rumor, floated by CNBC, is that LEH will sell off money management operation Neuberger Berman.
According to Reuters, the operation could bring in $8 billion. The question is what other financial company could afford it? Most banks and brokerages are simply trying to stay afloat. Perhaps a sovereign wealth fund will put up the cash.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
