September 2008 will likely go down as one of the more remarkable periods in our country and economy’s long histories. The September 2008 Market Commentary is a timely discussion of the events that have taken place in the market through mid-September 2008, including the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and Bank of America’s takeover of Merrill Lynch, American International Group’s travails and massive dilution of equity holders in that enterprise, as well as a more cursory overview of other significant points of interest as of late. The Market Commentary closes with some broad discussion of potential outcomes from this truly historic time.
