Great Post, Thanks for sharing your Very Incisive points of What Actually Happens with Market Forces and of how powerful they are!
I think there will be a Massive sell-Off in RKT, post Merger...Its better the 'lucky' guys, especially the "ACCIDENTAL" "Millionaire Club'" NEWBIES, count their Blessings, and exit their positions, without getting TOO Greedy. Otherwise, I am Afraid that they'll Find Out, as you say "The Market Has a Paddle Big Enough to Whip ANYONE's Ass".
They WILL NOT GET any recoveries, those Future 'F& R Recoveries', that were attested to by SG, will be coming ONLY to ACTUAL "Escrow-Holders"!
I am very confident I'll Make My Additional Millions, thanks to my significant Escrow-Holdings of various 'WaMu Flavors'....GLTU & GLT ALL Escrows-Holders!
