If you have not heard yet Lehman Brothers Holdings has filed for bankruptcy.

However, this doest not equal the demise of the company but rather an economic set-back.

Current price per shares are within $.20 with a 52-week high of $45.88. According to my Finance instructor it will take 2-3 years for Lehman Brothers Holdings to get back to a stable condition. If this is true and he is in fact correct I have been considering buying a substantial (to my standards) amount of shares.

Consider this @ $.20, $100 can buy approximately 500 shares. Should my instructor is indeed correct,Lehman Brothers Holdings can make it back to its 52-week high of $45.88, that will total to over $22K. thats more than 2x initial investment. If the company goes completely under and then I am only out $100.

Do the math even with $20 investment you can yield a $4,500 return. In a 2-3 year span thats nearly $300 a month extra from what you already earn.
