This is the first collapse of a U.S. bank ! Do you have any money in a Bear Stearns account?

I too agree, I am not going to withdraw all my money from my accounts in a panic because of one bank failing. Banks fail all the time. The Great Depression and whats happening now are similar but very different in ways unlike in the 1930's our money is FDIC insured up to $100,000. But dont get me wrong I am monitoring whats going on and never leave all my eggs in one basket.
