I was responding to the poster WAS who said that he remembered WMI saying the company did not expect any recovery for the commons.
The article you posted does refer to the common shareholders of WMBANK and not WMI.
It has similar words "the FDIC says it doesn't anticipate any recovery for the commons", so I am wondering if there has been a mix-up and maybe it wasn't WMI that said they did not expect any recovery for the commons.
I will try to find - if there is one - an old news release or posting that can verify if WMI actually said this.
