Hey, Congress, Guess What? WaMu's Toast

by: Jeff Pietsch
September 25, 2008

Stick that in your eye, Congress. Reportedly, the unexpected federal takeover of Washington Mutual (WM) will leave no value to either shareholders or bondholders. Will taxpayers notice that another $2.5 Billion in market cap has evaporated from their S&P 500 401-K holdings in the morning?

Hey, it's all Wall Street guys, after all ... (wait a minute, isn't WaMu out here in the Pacific Northwest?)
And your constituents are furious with this bailout, aren't they? Take your time, guys, we all want to be assured that you "get it right." And special good work to the credit agencies that downgraded the firm yesterday and today. My personal kudos to you.
