barrons3	Auxier also sees good value in corporate debt, and has invested more than 20% of his fund's assets in bonds of companies such as Waste Management (WM), Time Warner (TWX) and Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS). He owns Dr Pepper stock, too, and it's his best performer this year, up 63%.	Love	September 05, 2009

barrons3	Wachovia (WB), Washington Mutual (WM), now Sovereign (SOV) with Santander (STD), which I had no idea was healthy enough to buy anything but can put the bad loans to TARP like all of the others.	Love	October 16, 2008
flashefx	Obvious	Hate	October 10, 2008
barrons3	If the FDIC can come in and seize WaMu (WM), how are they not going to seize BankUnited (BKUNA) and Downey Savings (DSL)? These are the obvious ones, the ones that the FDIC needs to see made whole or will take them, take the liabilities and sell the deposits.	Love	October 02, 2008

barrons3	Wachovia (WB), Washington Mutual (WM) and Citigroup (C) are all institutions that will be pretty good with the RMT. The lies being told about Wachovia CEO Bob Steel and his "only $10 billion problem loans" are a joke. On my show he talked about $125 billion in residential problem loans and $10 billion in problem loans in commercial that are also related to housing. That's why he needs a "good bank/bad bank" solution to the problem where he can sell the bad bank to the RMT. Unfortunately, because of bad management and lax lending standards almost all of Washington Mutual is a bad bank. We need a takeover or seizure there	Love	September 25, 2008
barrons3	The really nutty one is Washington Mutual. If the plan passes, it is possible that someone will pay a discount to the company's stock or even to it. I cannot think of any institution that would like to pay a premium, because this company cannot fund itself much longer. I think its upside is extremely limited. On the other hand, its downside is zero. This one's not a tough one financially, but it is proving irresistible to players. It is possible that TPG comes back and pays something for the rest under the plan. Again, though I do not know why it has to be done at a premium. The alternative, of course, is that it goes under, and then the legislation passes and it is a carcass worth nothing.	Love	September 25, 2008

barrons2	Now, there are major trends that can be adhered to. I have said ad nauseum that the banks and homebuilders and retailers and consumers of oil and gas bottomed on July 15. Not all, obviously: Lehman (LEH) and Washington Mutual (WM) are classic outliers, as will be AIG. These stocks have their own peculiar patterns, like the 6-point run in Whirlpool (WHR) on Friday and the 5-point decline yesterday.	Love	September 11, 2008
barrons2	Washington Mutual (WM) is a black hole unless TPG steps up. Otherwise, it is going to go belly-up judging by the previously owned home numbers that just got reported.	Love	September 11, 2008
stilljohn	own	Love	September 03, 2008
barrons2	Some private-equity firms are taking a page from sovereign-wealth funds and putting money into struggling financial companies. Texas Pacific Group bet on Washington Mutual (WM) and KKR on Legg Mason (LM). Neither has fared well.	Love	August 30, 2008

barrons2	Q: Give us some shorts, please. A: Let's start with the obvious. You can't have financial institutions levered 30-to-1, which I think is the case in Europe, or 25-to-1, which I think is the case in the States, and expect nothing bad to happen. So, we have been short the banks for a long time. And the brokers. And the mortgage lenders and mortgage guarantors. We typically short stocks, not ETFs or indexes. We've been short Bank of America [BAC], JPMorgan Chase [JPM] Citigroup [C}, Goldman Sachs [GS], Merrill Lynch [MER], Lehman Brothers [LEH], Morgan Stanley [MS], SunTrust [STI], Wachovia [WB], Washington Mutual [WM], Capital One [COF]. There's hardly a financial name that we aren't short.	Love	August 16, 2008
