Banking sources speculated that Bear Stearns could have been hit by last night's collapse in value of so called alt-A, or low-end prime mortgage securities.
"The Alt-A market fell out of bed last night and Bear would have been completely caned by this. They hold a bunch of these securities," one investment banking source told Times Online.
"Against what you might normally expect, the sub-prime market rallied, but alt-A sold off."
