Baltimore – (TFN):  With the recent market collapse, the subsequent U.S. Federal Reserve-negotiated sale of The Bear Stearns Cos. Inc. (BSC: NYSE), and a central bank that’s socializing trillions of dollars in debt in a misguided attempt to “fix” the credit crisis, many investors are very astutely asking: How much worse could this get?
