I'm looking for positive information, but I post what I find, even if it isn't positive. Sorry if that bothers you. If you've been able to find something concrete, i.e., other than the "hey, buddy" tips and mild cheerleading we've been getting here I'd welcome you posting it. I doubt that anything said on this thread has any effect on the price anyway. With a grand total of 35 posts it's not exactly a hot one. I hope you timed your recent WMI investment better than I. We'll see. It's hard to imagine that things could get worse, but they really need to clean things up and get some strong management installed. The WSJ bit I posted indicated that this was the plan. It wasn't totally negative. And the price was up at the end of the day. I timed it better and bought a bunch at 14 15/16, but I appreciate all information, positive or negative. If I used SI just so I can cheer on my holdings with deep-thoughts like, "WMI is going to 750", I can use Yahoo instead and save money. So keep posting the information, positive or negative. Anyone who thinks positive or negative information posted on SI will move a stock as large and liquid as WMI needs help.

Keep posting what you find, Larry. WMI isn't going to make anyone rich anytime soon, and I doubt this thread will ever take off on SI. WMI historically isn't one of those "hot" stocks that gets tons of attention, and much of the news has indeed been negative, but it's starting to open up analyst's eyes at these levels, and that's a good start for this battered puppy. It will be a long road to recovery though for WMI. I wish I had the room to add on Friday, but I've bought 3 times since $34, and "that's all she can take captain!" Best of Luck, bk
