After the announcement that J.P. Morgan Chase would bail out Bear Stearns, Wall Street worried that Lehman, the nation's largest underwriter of mortgage-backed bonds - and its fourth-largest securities firm - would be banking's next disaster.

To dodge that bullet, Lehman raised capital by liquidating three funds worth $1 billion after their assets declined in value during the credit crisis. It also repackaged $2.8 billion of unsold debt into an investment vehicle it named "Freedom," then pledged some of those securities as collateral for a short-term loan from the Fed. Lehman recently raised $4 billion from a stock sale.
