Not seriously significant that it's been renewed but obviously nobody's running from the name or the concept. I doubt that there's a legal reason why they could not use it even if everything was defunct.
That would be the Washington Mutual Incorporated trust. I'm curious if there was a name attached to the domain registration record. Most often it's just a technical department or something as the contact.
Somebody told somebody to renew that domain name. Who are those somebodies?
Thanks
Which domain name?
Here's something about derivatives and the rate cut today and historical events in the financial markets including comment on our dollar:
Historically, a cut in interest rates by the Federal Reserve tends to stimulate economic activity, including increased investment in securities. Here’s a breakdown of how this situation might unfold:
### Immediate Effects of Rate Cuts
1. **Lower Borrowing Costs**: A reduction in interest rates makes borrowing cheaper for individuals and businesses. This can lead to increased consumer spending and business investment.
2. **Increased Liquidity**: Lower rates often result in more liquidity in the market, as businesses and consumers take advantage of cheaper loans. This can stimulate economic growth.
3. **Attraction to Equities**: As bond yields decrease due to lower interest rates, investors may seek higher returns in equities, leading to increased demand for stocks.
### Historical Context
- **1970s**: The economy faced stagflation, but rate cuts in certain periods did spur stock market rallies, albeit with high volatility.
- **1980s**: The aggressive rate cuts in the early '80s helped combat recession, leading to a robust bull market later in the decade.
- **1990s**: The tech boom was partly fueled by low interest rates, encouraging investment in innovation and startups.
- **2008 Financial Crisis**: The Fed's drastic rate cuts post-crisis aimed to stabilize the economy, leading to a prolonged bull market in the following decade.
### Looking Ahead
1. **Market Sentiment**: If the market perceives the rate cut as a sign of confidence in economic recovery, we may see a rally in stock prices.
2. **Sector Performance**: Certain sectors, like technology and consumer discretionary, often benefit more from lower rates as they rely heavily on financing for growth.
3. **Inflation Considerations**: If inflation begins to rise due to increased spending, the Fed may have to adjust rates again, which could impact market stability.
4. **Global Factors**: Geopolitical tensions, supply chain issues, and other global economic factors will also play a significant role in market dynamics over the next five years.
### Predictive Analysis
Using predictive statistics, one might expect:
- **Continued Growth**: If economic indicators remain positive, we could see a sustained upward trend in stock valuations.
- **Volatility**: Markets may experience increased volatility as investors react to both economic data and Fed policies.
- **Investment Shifts**: A potential shift from traditional sectors to emerging industries, particularly green technologies and digital platforms, could reshape market dynamics.
### Conclusion
While a rate cut typically leads to a more active buying trend in securities, the overall impact will depend on a combination of domestic economic performance, investor sentiment, and external global factors. Monitoring these elements closely will be crucial for assessing future market directions.

The issue of derivatives held by major banks is indeed a significant concern in the financial landscape. Here’s an overview of the potential implications and risks associated with this situation:
### Understanding Derivatives and Their Risks
1. **What Are Derivatives?**
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is linked to the performance of an underlying asset, index, or interest rate. Common types include options, futures, and swaps.
2. **Exposure and Leverage**:
Many banks hold large positions in derivatives, often using them for hedging or speculative purposes. However, the lack of capital backing can lead to excessive leverage, increasing systemic risk.
### Potential for Market Disruption
1. **Counterparty Risk**:
If one party in a derivative contract defaults, it can create a chain reaction. Major banks are interconnected through these contracts, meaning that a default could trigger widespread panic and instability.
2. **Lack of Transparency**:
The complexity and opacity of derivatives make it difficult for regulators and investors to assess the true risk exposure of these banks. This can lead to a false sense of security in the market.
3. **Regulatory Gaps**:
If banks are not adequately audited or if there are loopholes in the regulatory framework, it could mask the extent of their overextension. This lack of oversight might allow risky practices to continue unchecked.
### Who Could Call the Derivatives?
1. **Regulators**:
Financial regulators, such as the Federal Reserve or the SEC, could demand audits and transparency from banks regarding their derivative holdings. Stricter regulations could force banks to reduce their exposure.
2. **Market Participants**:
Investors and analysts could raise concerns about a bank’s balance sheet, prompting market reactions. If confidence wanes, it could lead to sell-offs in stocks and derivatives.
### Mechanisms for a Market Crash
1. **Panic Selling**:
If it becomes apparent that a major bank is overextended, investors may rush to sell off shares and derivatives, leading to a sharp decline in market values.
2. **Liquidity Crisis**:
A sudden loss of confidence can lead to a liquidity crunch, where banks struggle to meet obligations, further exacerbating the situation.
3. **Credit Freeze**:
If banks become wary of lending due to concerns over their own exposure, it could lead to a credit freeze, stifling economic growth and investment.
### Conclusion
While the potential for derivatives to contribute to a market crash exists, it largely hinges on transparency, regulatory oversight, and market confidence. Increased scrutiny and proper auditing of banks' derivative
The value of the U.S. dollar in global markets is significantly influenced by its circulation and various economic factors. Here are some key points to consider:
### Impact of Dollar Circulation on Its Value
1. **Supply and Demand Dynamics**:
An increase in the circulation of dollars, often resulting from expansive monetary policy (like quantitative easing), can lead to a dilution of the dollar’s value. If more dollars are in circulation without a corresponding increase in economic output, it can weaken the dollar against other currencies.
2. **Inflation Concerns**:
A higher money supply can raise inflation expectations. If investors anticipate that inflation will erode the dollar's purchasing power, they may seek to hold assets denominated in other currencies or commodities, further decreasing the dollar's value.
3. **Global Reserve Currency Status**:
The U.S. dollar remains the world’s primary reserve currency, which creates a consistent demand for it. This demand can help maintain its value, even when the money supply increases. However, challenges to this status (e.g., rising currencies like the euro or yuan) could alter this dynamic.
4. **Interest Rates and Investment Flows**:
When the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, as mentioned earlier, it can lead to lower returns on dollar-denominated assets. This might prompt investors to seek higher returns elsewhere, putting downward pressure on the dollar’s value.
### Conclusion
The amount of dollars in circulation plays a crucial role in determining its value on the world stage. Balancing monetary policy to foster economic growth while maintaining the dollar's strength is a delicate task for the Federal Reserve, with significant implications for both domestic and global markets. positions could reveal vulnerabilities, prompting necessary reforms. It's crucial for regulators to ensure that banks maintain adequate capital reserves to mitigate these risks and promote financial stability.
LOL good on 'ya.
Right and lower interest rates will improve the temperament. And if the waves represent volatility not sure if you're aware but volatility is often attracting risky capital adding to the coffers of the wise.
Cut an interest rates mean the boost for lending which means Capital will be available at lower rate so investments will probably pick up.

I often wonder how people who love to emphasize the negative and offer negative prophecies expect to gather more power or satisfaction or respect.
What you know these disappointing and depressing ideas is that they're destructive. However I do understand that people actually embrace their fear as a thrill and often they think they're being intelligent by fearing the future.
Nevertheless, science has proven that we hurt ourselves with self fulfilling negative prophecies. Medical science also proven that positive thinking about the present and the future is healthier. Healthier people last longer, are more attractive and naturally have more authority among their friends and families in the long run.
Why indeed! If he was anybody that I could trust he'd be going after Injustice and Wall Street and he'd know about this freaking scenario and other freaking scenarios and he'd have comments on the Libor disaster. In my opinion.
You know I liked it when I always talked about was SpaceX progress. I really think that he's mentally compromised due to he admittedly has a ketamine a habit. If one wants to know more about the effects of that just look up ketamine effects it ain't good
I wonder if the FDIC has ever published anything that does not warn of the downside that could happen anytime. In fact they would be foolish to not have both sides of the story and in this article they say things are up but they could go down. I hardly call this information you know it's it's not really a information as such. Measly gross with the possibility of a great loss coming up.
You know this other thing about the fear of the market crashing anytime soon... It doesn't line up with the historical facts around election time when the Democrats are likely to get in.
The weather is good.
I tell you what.. it's just much simpler than we've been making it all these years.
And in completely unrelated news, He said "undoubtedly" so it's pure speculation.
I give up, pay them, but pay me too.
Yeah those lawyers looking for permission to get paid
Hello! Money talks BS walks. The market is up. Don't tell me you don't like it. Mixed feelings someone anyone? lol
Modern Life is also confusing until ine is able to get one's head out of one's personal way.
The only aspect of our human experience that remains reliable is the positive side of everything.
No. "Should" is not a thing in this bankruptcy proceeding. No proof and no relationship to us is indicated in any way, and I don't know has there ever been an indication that what he is posting is directly related to me getting paid? I mean certainly we would have gotten paid if there was!!!!! Think about it.
Lodas hopefully take your advice. After all, he considers himself a highly qualified business person.
Duh... Have you changed anything about your answers that I received numerous times?
That must be why I already got a small distribution a couple years ago cuz I wasn't supposed to get one
Sweet
I never learned according to some people so I don't know why I'm expecting other people to learn only what I want them to learn lolololol
You know I've often said to people who keep thinking I'm going to do something else or be in different way why would you think that when I never have?!!!
Lmao it's sad but this is who we are
I've long been accused of being a navel dweller, navel contemplator: gazer. This is not a nautical term; for those who are unfamiliar.
It's not about the high seas. LOL - that's almost like a pun.
It's the belly button obsession... meaning too much self-reflection and all that. But but but but I must modify my behavior again so it's not amplify my failings.
I wonder what that Lodas expects to get out of his posting. Fame? Fortune, abuse, or maybe he just wants to be right.
Personally, I don't think he's ever done anything other than speculate or misdirect. He may even prove his point but his points are often just totally irrelevant. It complicates things that we already know. And then infuses his pros with anger frustration and insults.
As a result he has definitely built a reputation which I hope he finds worth it. I really couldn't stand being so misunderstood.
LoL It's never too late to understand that it's very good if one wants to establish authority among friends and family that it's better to be generally correct rather than specifically wrong.
Well then somebody's big, fat, and ready to get paid.
Offer not accepted as you can see and have seen for months
A good sign.
So you never get any credit huh?
LMAO... What are you the monitor here.
Or you could just inform them and we wouldn't have to get God involved but forgiveness is always a good idea even before things happen. lol
On this fine Friday evening here in Colorado I take great comfort in recognizing that my tens of thousands of shares which is in fact my interest in the Washington Mutual Incorporated holding company, regardless of what you call it, will eventually turn into money in my account.
Eventually.
As time passes the time between now and then continues to be shorter and shorter and shorter. Logically and rationally speaking I do believe that the word "soon" could be applied because it's been 13 years since 2012.
Links aren't working.
I've got to say after 15 years that one of the best ways to understand the reality that we're in is to eliminate the word "they" from your thinking process. Try it.Things start to come into focus.
I try to give people a break for being mistaken before intentionally misleading. But that's just cuz I'm kind of a softy.
Search on ihub here for that ticker and you'll find it non-existent.
Gary Halvo, please be a gentleman and delete that post about political preferences it's way too obvious it's an interruption and you know it's against the rules here. Be a gentleman.
Use more question marks it might help there's nothing else has
I think we would know if it was trading at $7 and some cents. But you know finance isn't my main gig. Tim Z I put this up or sent this to me on Facebook.
Okay well that's what I need a little bit of a review, and some insight.
