Wamu, the problem are not the customers doing transactions, the problem are the customers not doing transactions any more <g>. looks like WM needed a cool billion$ in a hurry. price is somewhat steep with 9.75% interest: reuters.com Wm credit situation is worse than I expected. I estimated before that WM can add more than 500M$/quarter to loan loss reserves and still be OK. It looks now that this tidy sum is not enough, for the last quarter they added almost 1B$ to reserves. I think that based on the above the streak if dividend increases has to come to and end. A dividend cut is quite possible if they have another 2 quarters like the last. i do not think that WM will go under but i think they will have to stretch quite a bit to stay afloat.
