I bought Bear Sterns calls thinking it would blow over. The idea that Bear Sterns could just disappear like that was unfathomable at the time.

You thought the market would go up? Specifically a bank? Sure the bankruptcy was a surprise but I really don't know of anyone back then who was expecting a recovery or even a minor bounce at all that year. Hopefully your options were LEAPs.

Many people thought either their situation was overstated or they would be rescued in some way that preserved more of the market value.
