Is Washington Mutual stock a buy at this point? Here’s two points to consider: It is definitely a better buy now than it was in early 2007. Washington Mutual, ironically, will emerge from bankruptcy in much better financial health than many banks that are currently operating.
Don't underestimate what this is inferring. "Shareholders will also have the benefit of a $30 million trust set up to seek recovery from other parties involved in the collapse of Washington Mutual."
"The biggest asset of Washington Mutual, Inc., once it is reorganized through bankruptcy, is the value of an estimated $20 billion dollar net operating loss carryforward benefit which can be used to offset taxes on future earnings."
$20 B-B-B-B-Billion...... any more silly questions???????
