WM

Back in April, I was writing an eulogy about WM, and reviewing a spreadsheet I did back in the Fall 2007.

Here's the link:

June 9 (Bloomberg) -- Washington Mutual Inc. tumbled as much as 14 percent, leading mortgage companies lower in New York trading, after UBS AG analyst Eric Wasserstrom said the Seattle-based lender is underestimating losses on home loans.

Washington Mutual, nicknamed WaMu, will lose about $21.7 billion from mortgages through 2011, more than the $12 billion to $19 billion the company forecasted, Wasserstrom wrote in a report today. He cut his 12-month share price target
to $8.50 from $11.
