Why did the American government bail out Bear Stearns?

The public justification is that the fall of a large company like Bear Stearns could cause a ripple effect that would take down other companies, perhaps the entire American economy. Many Americans are skeptical of this reasoning, suspecting that perhaps bribery of various members of Congress and their staffs is the more likely motivation for such massive assistance. In truth, no one knows what would happen if a firm as large as Bear Stearns collapsed. The only way to truly know would be to let it happen, and since there is the strong possibility of a "ripple effect," it would seem prudent to avoid an experiment of that nature.


Why did Bear Stearns fail?

Bear Stearns' leverage (the money it borrowed) was so high (30x plus) that a "crisis of confidence" developed. Investors began withdrawing money from Bear and counter parties (their customers) stopped doing business with them - effectively their liquidity dried up. It was a classic Run on the Bank. Financial institutions foundations are based upon confidence and trust, so a healthy institution can become insolvent almost overnight. Due to the "run", Bear Stearns was forced to sell to JP Morgan at a fire sale price.

How did the failure of Bear Stearns affect stock prices?

In a simple sense, the failure of Bear Stearns had a negative effect on stock prices. When a major bank such as Bear Stearns (which had been in business since the great depression) fails, consumer confidence is lowered significantly. Investors lose confidence in the stock market as well. As they lose confidence, it is common to sell assets. As assets are sold, the entire market is flooded with supply. When the supply is very high and the demand is very low, stock prices are forced down.
