Top 15 For 2008 (No. 3): Bank Runs Jan 28, 2009 05:20PM

StreetInsider.com has put together its 'Top 15 For 2008' which chronicles our view of the most significant news on Wall Street during the tumultuous year.

Number 3: Bank Runs

With the collapse of the financial system, bank runs again were back in our vocabulary. A bank run is a mass customer exodus of assets from a financial institution on fears of insolvency.

Of the deals that did get done, some were fire-sales including Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC) buyout of Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER) and Wells Fargo's (NYSE: WFC) buyout of Wachovia (NYSE: WB).

Some of the biggest M&A blow-ups in 2008

- The mega-takeover of BCE Inc. (NYSE: BCE) was cancelled.
- The most famous deal that didn't get done in 2008 was from laughingstock Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO). Yahoo! turned down a $31 per share deal ...
