All major bear markets started with ultimate bust of the bubble in wall street bonuses. This time it is no exception. 173,000 employees of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch & Co., Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Bear Stearns Cos. Will receive $36 billion of bonuses.

It is unprecedented which means the coming bear market will be devastating in nature. 1982, 1987, 1991, and 2000 – all these years saw the same. It is like a pendulum. After this kind of bonus pay, these financial services firms normally fire 30 to 40% of their work force as markets start collapsing. According to some analysts this time many of them will close forever.
