We all know Lehman Brothers \u2013 the investment banking firm \u2013 got nuked<\/b> due to toxic assets<\/b>. Figuratively speaking.. right? WRONG!<\/p>\n

The investment bankers were actually sitting on a stockpile of 450,000 lbs of uranium \u201cyellow-cake\u201d. It could theoretically speaking, be used to power a nuclear reactor or even make a bomb.<\/p>\n

Now, if I put the Indo-US Nuke deal into context you somehow wonder \u2013 how come an investment bank \u2013 full of idiots who run the company under a truck \u2013 gets something more easily than an entire sovereign country? Worse the investment bankers don\u2019t even need to ratify any treaty! Do you see the apartheid in this field?<\/p>\n

And just btw, the thing is worth USD 18 mn and selling it is a difficult thing right now as the price for Uranium, if you can find it and are from a \u201cresponsible\u201d Western country, is falling. So, even the nuclear fuel is exploding on the bank! Can these guys get anything right?<\/p>\n
