is this BS too then?


SuperDuper, get a clue.find something a little more informative or opinionated before you post.



ive received calls from a few people that work for Verizon wireless (with my wife) that prompted my actions and reasoning for this post. Wamu was a option to invest their 401k into. and to those that tracked their 401k on the regular to their dissapointment found out they lost a healthy amount of it. if this thread stirred people the wrong way, deal with it, dont worry about it, do whatever it is that gets you through your day. my point was to see if anyone else had misfortune also, and to bring the topic to a discussion.

if the best thing you can come up with is "the only bs on here is YOUR post" piss off, seriously, find something better to do.

Washington Mutual is no doubt the next to go down. Since september 17th Wamu's stock fell 27% to 2$ a share. My prediction is that Chase is going to buy them out.

I would hardly classify this as a "rumor". The #'s speak for themselves.

Who fucking called it?

So they get bought out by chase... who cares? I will then have a chase bank account, rather than WAMU. It may be a hassle, but its not like youre going to lose your money.

I never thought I'd lose my money? Everyone is FDIC insured up to 100k anyways.

I'm really stoked that chase picked them up... makes me a part of the 3rd largest bank in the world.

I'm curious, is everybody insured 100k per bank or just 100k total?

100k per bank, per account last I researched (few years ago)

100K per person, and if you have assets more than that you can request to have it insured for more than 100K.

Just per bank, not per account... at least thats how I understand it.

either way...everyone on this forum is covered.
