WMIH tendrá un crecimiento via M & A

Cajero Malencarado:

En estas acciones hubo 2 momentos clave...

1. Antigua WAMU: Donde mucha gente compro deuda y preferentes a precio de saldo ejemplo mis preferentes de aquella epoca hoy tendría +500% ganados...pero además me han dado una posición Escrow para el valor de lo que aun queda por liquidar por parte de WMILT que podré cuantificar sus ganancias en el futuro.

Los que compraron en esa fase ganaron mucho dinero... los que compraron a posteriori cuando subieron disparatadamente perdieron mucho dinero.

2. Nuevas WMIH: Su valor de salida hace 1 año tras la conversión fue de $1...
hoy cotizan a $0.865... llegaron a bajar hasta $0.40 y empezaron a subir... el potencial de su subida a futuro radicará en posibles M & A que se materialicen para sacar tajada de los $5.97 Billones en NOL´s.

A partir de ahi ya saca tu bola de cristal y afina la puntería.

Suerte!

Se acabo la fiesta en Weil Gotshal & Manges

Big Law Firm to Cut Lawyers and Some Partner Pay
BY PETER LATTMAN

Tina Fineberg for The New York Times
The headquarters of Weil, Gotshal & Manges are in the in the General Motors building in New York.
One of the country’s most prestigious and profitable law firms is laying off a large number of lawyers and support staff, as well as reducing the pay of some of its partners, a surprising move that underscores the financial difficulties facing the legal profession.

The leadership of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, a New York-based firm of 1,200 lawyers that counts General Electric and Sanofi as marquee clients and handled the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, informed its employees Monday morning about the reductions.

Sixty junior lawyers, known in law firms as associates, will lose their jobs. That amounts to roughly 7 percent of Weil’s associates. Roughly 30 of the firm’s 300 partners are having their annual compensation reduced, in many cases by hundreds of thousands of dollars. And 110 staff employees – roughly half of them legal secretaries – are being let go.

Although publicly traded companies, including Wall Street banks, often cull their ranks during fallow periods, it is rare for large law firms, especially elite ones like Weil, to fire employees en masse.

“While we have been able to avoid these actions in the past, and it is very painful from a human perspective, the management committee believes that these actions are essential now to enable our firm to continue to excel and retain its historic profitability in the new normal,” Barry M. Wolf, Weil’s executive chairman, wrote in an e-mail to its employees.

The “new normal,” in the view of Weil’s management and echoed by legal-industry experts, is that the market for high-end legal services continues to shrink. In the years leading up to the financial crisis, profitability exploded and the number of lawyers expanded at the country’s top firms as demand increased about 4 percent a year. But demand has been flat to down for the past five years, according to several industry reports, and shows little sign of picking up.

Dan DiPietro, chairman of the law firm group at Citi Private Bank, said that there were too many lawyers at the country’s largest firms, estimating the excess capacity at as much as 10 percent of the lawyer population. He believes that the profession could possibly experience a wave of job cuts.

“My guess is that a good number of firms have been thinking about right-sizing and waiting for someone to provide them cover and we’ll see more of these moves,” Mr. DiPietro said. “As difficult as layoffs are, it seems that they will be necessary for some firms to get in synch with the current market dynamics.”

The market dynamics at Weil, whose partners make, on average, about $2.2 million a year, are rather unique. During the depths of the financial crisis, the firm avoided the layoffs that some other firms were forced to make. That was largely because of its pre-eminent bankruptcy practice, which advised both General Motors and Lehman Brothers on their Chapter 11 filings. Those assignments, particularly Lehman, generated hundreds of millions of dollars in fees, not only in bankruptcy work, but also from the ream of litigation that flowed from them.

In an interview last week, Weil’s chairman, Mr. Wolf, said that the firm thought that as the crisis-related work wound down and the economy recovered, it would see a pickup in its “transactional business,” the lucrative practice of advising corporations and private equity firms on acquisitions, as well as performing legal work for stock and bond offerings. But transactional activity at Weil remains soft and has not returned to anywhere near pre-2008 levels.....

Commenting on the Sierra thing only gives credence to the pump and dump scheme that has befallen this group of investors many times over. Learn the lesson. We have to go by what the Board is saying. The have looked at many opportunities. They want to make sure to acquire a company (Most likely a Bank) that is revenue neutral (not losing money). We have to focus on that for now, let the "pump and dump" crew do their thing, we have to stay of sound mind and figure this Board out for ourselves.

It is true, they have had plenty of time to make an acquisition and I for one can not figure out why they did not use the M&A structure to take full advantage of the NOL when it was a lump sum and not a 20 year write-off. When the IRS wrote the rules for the banks that had either been acquired or "taken" by the FDIC, they put in a specific rule that there could be a lump sum Ordinary Loss for the acquirer. HUM! Why this Board choose to not pursue the avenue of being acquired for the 5.8 Billion OL puzzles me! Anyone in the Sector could have acquired WMIH.

Now here we are in 2013 and they still have not acquired a bank to do business and we have to ask ourselves
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
Surely there must be many banks out there that are ripe for the taking, yet we labor along on this "well we want to make sure" point. I for one am not happy with this, but I am willing to give them a chance, the financial world is in shambles and when the FED pulls back, interest rates are going up. and debt will more expensive.

PERFECT TIME TO HAVE A BANK!

I have one sentence for the Board. I know they are reading the boards..
GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND ACQUIRE A "MAIN STREET" BANK, SO YOU CAN MAKE THE SHAREHOLDERS AN ROI THAT IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS!

HOW'S That? And as for Sierra. Hun no one will take anyone serious who shows a thong butt on an investment website. Yes, you may get some new followers, but not the ones who will back you when the chips are down! So, please refrain from Pumping and Dumping here, you are looking at Seasoned WAMU Investors and we just do not have the time nor the inclination to listen or follow your investment advice. Now go back to Surfing, the Water's warming up and the sharks are coming in closer!

Hang in there WMIH Investors. "Light between the trees!"

NOL´s & Tpg

http://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/av-homes-inc-announces-135-million-equity-investment-by-tpg-20130619-00478

NOLS son más valiosos de lo que la gente cree...

TPG invested 135 million to take advantage of both improving real estate market and impact of 128 million of NOL (deferred tax assets ). Their timing is pretty good as they know they would double their investments in a couple of years.

This is the nature of NOL. If no positive earning, deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance of the same value negating any positive impact on balance sheet. However, AV Homes is on the verge of having income as opposed to loss and this is the time where the impact of NOL would really kick in. TPG knows this is the opportune time...

Since TPG already has made a large percentage increase in the change of 5% holdings for sec 382 purposes, the management is establishing right plans so that Nols remain not limited under the regulation.

La inversión de TPG en AV Homes y comparación WMIH

Comparación de TPG en AV homes vs nuestro Plan de adquisiciones:

AV Homes:

1)Company is in “turn around” mode and close to or slightly profitable, but prospect is good with continuing improvement in the housing sector

2)TPG invested $135 MM for a 41+% stake in anticipation that its $128 MM NOL will be used expeditiously in the near future

3)Deal is made via a combination of convertible preferred and common

4)AV Homes explicitly disclosed its awareness of the 382 limitation and appeared to have devised a workaround

WMIH:

1)Eugene Davis mentioned WMIH is not looking at ANY TURNAROUND company to acquire.

2)Both MW and G Davis STRESSED on avoiding excessive stock DILUTION

3)Per WMIH annual report, it stated WMIH can issue one or a SERIES of preferred up to 5MM shares ( page 4)

That’s the backdrop for my broad brushed comp and thinking…
