So what were the Risk Managers telling the management at Lehmans bank… maybe they should be fired… GROSS Negiligence perhaps? or did their “leaders” not listen…???

I have often said that organisations should have a “Debt Reserve Fund” large or small, if they had a range of assets (cash is a start) then they would have been able to say “Our core business is falling, but our back up foundation is solidly in place.” Instead the US Government comes a ridin’ in, all guns blazin’… “Yahoo! here comes the cavalry!!!”

So if my business fails will the Government give me $$ to prop it up? Hardly, and I barely call the aged pension a payout for years of challenges and ups and downs.

So fellow business people ask yourself what are we putting away to buld a foundation in case of challenges like this, and I don’t mean insurance…
