i just wonder why you want to buy these stocks now rather than waiting til the the tax loss selling has abated. I think wm has a truckload of mortgage loans to california and some think home prices there, silicon valley excepted, are headed sharply lower. CFC could be bogged down in regulatory scrutiny for a long time. Their ceo has sold around $400 million in stock over the years, and it sounds to me that there was a lot of malfeasance in the way they conducted their mortgage business. It seems to be the case that their salespeople were paid at a different commision rate based upon the type of product sold, not just the dollar amount sold. If this is the case some would argue that that needed to be disclosed to consumers relying upon these salespeople to offer them the best product available to them.
