hotmeat, ..Ok, I've checked in the web for just some minutes about her.
She seems to be specialized in BK or court topics related to business.
Her email is: peg.brickley@dowjones.com
... I will think about what you suggested for a while before taking any step... .. my initial thoughts are:
- She must be informed that the one contacting her has interest in the topic as shareholder. Anyway she may guess it but it's better and safer to make it clear from the begining.
- Since - at least me - we are not real insiders ..the value of the info would be helpfull for her "to save her searching time" and make it easy for her get a picture that triggers her interest to undertake her own search/interviews/calls. It's not really that we can provide any exclusive info... but all this is in these boards as the result of cooperative search. It's the result of her own personal findings what will be really powerfull and helpful. But we need to get her up to speed and intereseted in taking action.
From this point of view I would suggest:
- Facts; pieces of documents about the seizure, about the FDIC statements, about the key balance sheet parameters and ratios compared with other banks, about the FDCI and OTS regulation and internal processes and goals. .. Most of it public info but we could save her weeks of search directing her to key paragraphs of key documents, names of people - senators or officers who have been contacted and informed, .. etc
- Links to the most thoughtfull posts. Although these ones mostly give opinions (not facts) about scenearios, they could give her a snapshot of alternative realities. She must be aware that a post is not a proof of anything but reading 5 or 10 post out of hundreds of the last months could save her a hell of time and trigger her interest.
- Links to some videos and/or webpages like wamurape and/or iBox could help but... these may sound too biassed.
MY DOUBTS:
- Should she be contacted by "a person" or by a "colective entity" that represent a number of investores?
- Would not an initiative like this one interfere in timming and contents with a possibly well planned press/image plan designed by WMI legal team or WMI press team?
- If we go ahead... should we focus just in a journalist to make it easy for him/her to get up to speed faster that his/her colleages in other media ( so he/she gets really interested) .... or should we build up a list of 10 to 20 specilized journalists in key finance media and mail them with new selected inputs once a week?
... In any case this sort of initiative requires quiet thinking ... and maturing the idea for a while. Specially some kind of coordination with the WMI management/representatives...
... again .. just my very draft thinking
