This is a micro-cap stock and may be a target of manipulation. Always do your research - even $1.70 can end as $0.17 in minutes; they were just bought for $2 billion.

The banking assets are going to be sold to JPM. JPM is once again in the catbird's seat. They got Bear Stearn's prime brokerage business and now they'll get WaMu's deposits which will give them a solid footprint in the western United States. I'm adding JPM to my watchlist. I may not buy it for a year, but I'm confident that Jamie Dimon can figure out a way to integrate all these parts.

I just bought into WAMU at $1.70. I have a strong feeling that this stock will bounce back after the initial selloff.

i think WM has been insulted enough for there mismanaging many things in their company, but to be honest im new to all of this, heard of the news and it seems like it would be the DAY AFTER TOMORROW for the economy,  i know media always  make big thing of nothing.  i was able to by some of WM for 1.70 wednesday and since then heard people talking from both sides of the oceans about how will WM bounce back    

let the credit be to them, myself is not soo much of experience

Market Rallies on Fed Bad Debt Bailout Plan

<>
The financial sector and overall stock market reversed course in late-day trading today as word spread that U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson plans to propose a government vehicle to Congress this evening which would take bad mortgage debts off the books of banks in a similar fashion to the Resolution Trust [RTC] during the savings and loan crisis nearly two decades ago. Major market indexes in the U.S. ended the day in the green by about 4 – 5% on average and followed a gap up at the open on pre-market news of a coor< />< />...

Waste Management: Waste little, profit much

Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Waste Management Inc. (WMI)

The U.S. and global recycling trend has not only continued - its intensifying. In fact, communities are starting to shift from a theory of 'low waste' to a theory of 'no waste' - recycle or reuse everything, which is why I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for Waste Management (WM), first recommended on March 25, 2009 at a price of $25.74. If you bought WM in March, you're up about 26%.

Waste Management posted Q3 EPS of 54 cents, 1 cent above the First Call Q3 EPS estimate of 53c. Institutional investors (IIs) are looking past WM's likely 2-4%...

    Nuns Make a Run for the Bank (WM)

    A large group of so-called “nudist colony nuns” — names withheld — have emptied out their collective coin jars to put together a compelling offer for WM.

    <>Bolstered by the recent surge in Nude Tellers and accompanying lines of customers aching to put their money where the nudists are, the Nuns released in a statement this afternoon –”We think their brand is moving in a direction that is consistent with the ideals that are at the very heart and soul of nudism.
