Or bury it in the backyard! May not get any interest other than from you when ya dig it up; but at least ya won't have to wait in a line for two days to get it or lose it altogther. Ah, the joys of bein' broke and nearly out of a job.

Sad thing is that they could probably ride it out if there isn't a run on the bank.....thing is, as soon as people get a whiff of trouble they go running to grab what they have.

It's a fact of Life:

Wamu has gone from about $12 per share down to $4 per. Indymac was shut down at $3.90. Yes there's other facts too. Still a big drop. Not to sure I like this. I think I have 8 accounts there.

Crap.  My elderly renter has a 100K CD with them and she can't even take care of herself, much less deal with complicated banking issues.  Hopefully, they'll stay afloat by next week when I can get her down to move some stuff around.

Not sure I'd move that. It is insured and she would probably pay a hefty fee to move it.

My Grandparents survived the depression and everyone calls me a dumba$$ for saying it, but the last 6-7 years have been goin' down the same path that they used to tell horror stories about! Consumer products and services rising in cost while average wages lag way behind. Not talkin' about you $100,000+/ annually guys, but the majority of the nation has just not kept up. Adjusted wages went up a paltry average of 2% in the last 6 years.....and we all know that the cost of living has far exceeded that. Then the housing fiasco. People "panicing " and trying to  pull their monies out of the banks. They even said that the government, even then, tried to keep things on the "down-low", as they are now. Doesn't look nor feel too good children! Thankfully, da gig is broke and in a "low cycle" just at the right time. Can't lose anythin' if ya don't have anythin'! But hey!  :( Cheech and Chong are back together and gettin' a tour together! :good

For sheer evaporation of shareholder value, it’s hard to top what the holders of Washington Mutual (WM) have had to endure. Over the last 12 months, their stock has fallen by 90%. Over the past five years, it has fallen 35%--annually.

So, on Friday a London Based Hedge Fund with ties to Dubai, purchased a 6% stake in Wamu.

That's it, all of the foreign companies are going to own the USA before long :angry  :angry
