   there is a page on the german wiki which does describe what zertifikaten are, and i think it does mean the same as what lehmen offered, that’s no consultation. there are garantie zertificate or kapitalshcutz zertificate and i presume that is not what they bought from lehmans. no, having read the news just now re this it seems some of the investors may have a chance to regain at least some of the capital they have invested, not sure if there is any point in including a german link but here it is:

   I have been a Beatle , John Paul George or Ringo fan since they came to the U.S.A. I have been to 2 Ringo concerts one in Orlando and the other in Fort Myers where I was lucky to get 2 tickets for a meet and greet before the show. My wife was so excited she did not correctly give our correct EMail address that when our picture was taken with Ringo never arrived to our EMail. We were told Ringo would not be signing any autographs that day and even though I brought his old wave lp to signI understood that was not to be. I still am very thankful to at least shake his hand and thank him for making my life while growing up in the 60,s a good time to grow up. Peace and Love to you Ringo and Barbarra too, and give Buster a treat for me.

   I forgive you.

   Actually, it made me laugh, so I really can’t complain.

   I was reading about a rather sad story about a group of German investors who bought ‘Certificates’ which turned out to be Lehman Brothers ‘investments’. They’ve lost everything, and these were not wealthy people to start with.

   They are hoping to be able to get some recompense from the German banks who sold them, but it doesn’t look very hopeful.

   I gather that they called them ‘Certificates’ because German investors are rather conservative, and it made them sound like traditional investments…
