Man, you need to calm down.  No investment in Bear Stearns is
protected.  Stock investments aren't protected  by the FDIC.  How old
are you?  You should know that.  And Bear isn't even the type of bank
you're thinking of.

If you want protection, put your money in a savings account.  If you
want to lose your ___, invest in Bear right now.
