JP Morgan Purchasing WaMu Deposits
WSJ just reported that JP Morgan will acquire most of WaMu's operations.
Further details on the transaction are expected Thursday night.
Not a real surprise here. It has long been rumored that JP Morgan has been in talks to acquire a portion of WaMu. It seems now that the bailout has been pushed thru JP Morgan feels comfortable enough to proceed with the deal.

Whoops...
How much did TPG lose over the past few hours?
FDIC has BIG problems
It's one of the dirty little secrets of consumer banking, but the FDIC charges way too little for their insurance and now they are WAY underfunded based on anticipated commitments.
Now they're saying that they're going to raise their premiums, but it's too late. They'd better hope this bailout works.
Jamie D making big bets this year
So apparently 65% of us were right on the poll... Will UBS be next?
Geez, I told my friend WaMu
Geez, I told my friend WaMu might be next to blow up and she should take her money out.....and now she has to deal with the FDIC bureaucracy. So um Citibank and E-Trade better not be next.
