Washington Mutual, Inc. (NASDAQOTH:WAMUQ.PK)

Good buying opprotunity. I bought in to early but think that will recover the loss and profit over the next 12 months

Look at the numbers. They are good. The stock is undervalued.

s/b a takeover soon.

WM has excellent management and earnings potential. Their marketing plan and expansion of online banking will continue to carry WM to higher rankings compared to other banking and mortgage lenders.

Watch for JPM to make their move this spring

Subprime has hurt this mortgage giant to the need to be bought. Will be gobbled by another bank soon.

smart people, they will figure it out.... I hope.

Management does not have the tools and skills to adequately assess risk of the portfolio. Bad news will continue to dribble out from actual performance rather than company forward guidance provided from internal analysis. Frankly speaking they do not have the ability to internally assess risk and the balance sheet is strewn with assets that will not face the test of time and the secondary market will not touch.

This company has been around since 1889 and will bounce back in a year or so. Great buy to keep in the portfolio.

Buy out candidate.

The financials have just about hit bottom and are ready for a comeback. I could be calling this a little early, but.....

Thx to G.W...US financial is on "fire sell" with great exchange rate for foreign investors (European, Indian, Chinese and Emirates) Citigroup is too big to bought out by foreign investor...WaMu is a great target. For next few months, it will be flushed down the toliet with rest of the crap...like the brown stuff...it will float again. 'til then it will smell and looks like sh...

Washington Mutual is not going to disappear. I

At a price per share of about $13 and a book value of about $27, this stock is way uncervalued.

The book value may fall next year, but not by 50%. The sun will return to the NW and WM will rise again !

financial stocks should have a good year

The entire mortgage and banking industry will continue to be hit hard for the next year as the housing marking declines. And WM's pending litigation further muddies the waters. Not to mention the substantial drop in the dividend payout. It all adds up to rough times ahead for WM.

I think two quarters from now the issue of the writdown will be done with. the stock will rise from the bottom for sure.

WaMu is one of the better retail banks out there. The end game for banks right now is for them to bring new money in without selling their souls to Mideast and Asian investors. WaMu is one of those banks that continues to offer great products and great service. I believe that WaMu has been beaten down too far and will outperform in the next 4-8 months. I see an upside of up to $20-22 a share.

Ok, We know the sub prime crisis is in full gear. The thinking is, if at the peek a 600K home falls in value to a 400 or one third of its value, then so should the stock be valued based upon the assets. Further, this correction is an overcorrection for Washington Mutual. Investors forgot the fact that WAMU also has direct consumer products, e.g, banking services. This a no Brainer, a super Buy!!!
