WaMu stock price keeps falling. From $40 per share less than a year ago to $20 four months ago to $3.03 a couple of weeks back before the SEC and Treasury ganged up to prop up the markets yet again.
The SEC, FDIC, OTS, bubblevision and various other media sources are in a big finger pointing contest, blaming everything from negative press to bloggers and short sellers for WaMu’s obvious struggles. I blame WaMu. There is solid evidence everywhere that WaMu is struggling. The stock price plunging aside, the massive amounts of the most toxic of loans ever created on their balance sheet is well-known and what is at the heart of their troubles.
