Sam, I came to the conclusion long ago that you are a good egg. Similar circumstances, I completely understand and agree with your sentiments.

"The real reason I am emotionally invested in this (and I suspect as are others) has to do with being on the side of 'right'. Going way back, many of us believe the bank was seized without justification. Oh sure, there were 'reasons', but if the OTC documentation is to be believed, it was not appropriate for WMB to be taken down. Furthermore, if the scuttlebutt about JPMC Bank that came out a few years later is true, it starts to look like WMB was sacrificed on the altar of capitalism to save JPMC.

Today, the financial return doesn't matter as much. I'm retired and while (if it comes - and I think it will) it will change my standard of living, it probably won't make me that much happier. When my wife was alive, the prospect of taking those dream trips was important. Now, not so much.

What will make me happy is knowing that I made a good choice in choosing this stock (WMI). Every time I read one of your posts, it reminds me that there is a chance for some serious happiness (at being right) for which I have already paid the penalty (grief, anger, and frustration over the years).

I guess its kind of like being reminded that summer is coming when you are a kid in school. Or the anticipation of your favorite holiday. Or the hope that the girl will in fact go out to dinner with you. Or the anticipation of your team winning the world series. (Go Cubs!)"
