WASHINGTON -- It's been two years since Lehman Brothers failed (Sept. 15, 2008), and we still can't conclusively answer this question: What if the government had saved Lehman? Its bankruptcy was pivotal. Until then, deteriorating housing and mortgage markets had triggered what seemed a serious -- but not unprecedented -- recession. Once Lehman failed, the economy went into a frenzied free fall. It's hard not to wonder whether some of the ensuing turmoil could have been avoided.
Consider what happened after Lehman:
...Stocks tanked. After its historical high of about 14,100 in October 2007, the Dow Jonees industrial average was still trading around 11,400 before the...

In 2005, the AM Best Global Insurance Composite gained 16.2% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6%. But 2008 was a different story. AM Best's composite index is comprised of 189 actual insurance stocks, weighted by free-float market capitalization, and is the most comprehensive tracking of the insurance industry's stock performance on a global basis. The AM Best US Property/Casualty and Life/Health Indexes have tracked insurance stocks for a much longer time and provide a historical insight as to exactly how poor 2008 was. XL Capital, which has reported sizable investment losses, led the sector's declines with a 92.6% drop in stock price.

It looks like cause for celebration: The Dow Jones industrial average surged from 12,000 to 13,000 in just six months. But appearances can be deceiving, and there may be more reason to worry than rejoice about Wall Street's latest accomplishment.
Stronger-than-expected profits from several large companies helped push the stock market to historical heights. But many big corporations, including the Dow components, made a chunk of that money overseas, where economies are growing faster than in the United States. And many of the same worries that weighed on investors earlier in the year remain: rising energy costs, a slumping housing market and a possible credit crunch.

Until then, deteriorating housing and mortgage markets had triggered what seemed a serious -- but not unprecedented -- recession. Once Lehman failed, the economy went into a frenzied free fall. It's hard not to wonder whether some of the ensuing turmoil could have been avoided. Consider what happened after Lehman:
Credit tightened. Banks wouldn't lend to each other, except at exorbitant interest rates. Rates on high-quality corporate bonds went from 7 percent in August to nearly 10 percent by October.
