China's CITIC Securities To Walk Out On Bear Stearns (BSC)
Published:
In a previously announced deal China’s CITIC said it planned to invest $1 billion in Bear Stearns (NYSE: BSC). It has had a day to think that over after Bear nearly went under and was saved by capital from JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM) which was backed by the Federal Reserve.
Now CITIC has said "We cannot guarantee reaching a final agreement in the future," according to Reuters. In other words "Don’t call us, we’ll call you."

Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.
However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.
There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
