Lehman Brothers Faces Record Lows; Leadership Scrambling For Turnaround

(NewsVisual, powered by IntellectSpace) -- Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (NYSE: LEH) experienced major drops in the value of its shares on Monday, leaving the troubled finance firm at risk of a takeover.

Share prices haven't been this low since 2000, and some analysts are speculating that Lehman Brothers could be facing some major hurdles in the near future. One prediction is that the firm may even be forced to sell itself on the cheap if performance doesn't quickly improve.

Insiders are saying that a sale and write-downs aren't going to happen, but the optimism did little to improve investor confidence as shares slid by 11% (see article from The Wall Street Journal).
