Brokers on the floor or at a trading desk are usually held to the fiduciary responsibility of best price. Tais rule is suspended in what is termed fast market conditions. When markets are moving so fast taht such prices cannot be easily determined, the broker is not held to the requirement.
Events are happening so fast this weekend at the Lehman buy out talks, ther is not point in linking articles. Now at 5:00 PM CST, BAnk of America is talking merger takover with Berrill Lynch and Barclays has dropped out as a bidder. Go to finance.yahoo.com to keep current.
