Mediación & 2012..
I agree. If JPM and the FDIC don't take advantage og the opportunity the judge is offering I think that strongly indicates one of 2 things:
1.JPM is bankrupt and cannot afford to give back any of the stolen WMI assets.
2. The EC feels equity has a great chance of seeing a huge windfall if they litigate this case and are pushing for a very big settlement to forgo their litigation rights.
Personally i feel that at some point hedge funds and equity funds that haven't taken a position in WMI but have had it on their radar screen will start buying up preferreds as the wind of a settlement leaks out. I expect this to happen sometime before the first of the year with the final settlement being announced after the first for tax purposes.
