Federal banking regulators, in recent days, contacted Wells Fargo & Co , JPMorgan Chase & Co , HSBC and several other financial institutions to gauge their interest in a possible acquisition of WaMu, the paper said. No merger discussions are currently under way between the Seattle-based bank and anyone else, the sources told the paper. Washington Mutual could not be immediately reached for comment.
m22, are you still short this?I gave up after the massive amount of bad news couldn't break this stock below $2. they could get wipeout but I think I had enough with them
That was a big volume spike for 1.20pm ET. I find it hard to believe that it's not based on any news / rumor
This is only a rumour I've heard on other boards, but WM has until Friday to find a merger partner or the OTS will be forced to close the bank and turn it over to the FDIC.
