A Wall Street Domino Theory

This is really a serious assessment:

"“You get to where people can’t trade with each other,” said James L. Melcher, president of Balestra Capital, a hedge fund based in New York. “If the Fed hadn’t acted this morning and Bear did default on its obligations, then that could have triggered a very widespread panic and potentially a collapse of the financial system.”"

Imagine the calamity.

This is a precipitous fall in stock price.
