	Euro2day :: WaMu's new strategy raises credit risk
		WaMu''s cutback on the low-yielding conventional mortgages, notably its recent sale to Wells Fargo & Co. of a large chunk of assets associated with servicing those loans, can help reduce its exposure to market-rate fluctuations.
		WaMu''s restructuring of its home-loan group, which also involved job cuts, is part of its overall strategy aimed at achieving a return on equity in the "high teens" and "double-digit" earnings-per-share growth for the period 2005-2009.
		As many of those loans issued in previous years will start to be reset soon, there is a growing fear that some borrowers -- especially those who haven''t had a chance to build up equity in their homes -- may not be able to afford higher payments, resulting in credit losses for the lender.

	WaMu Watch by Inner City Press / Fair Finance Watch
		Rather than substantively respond to what ICP has raised, WaMu seeks to evade the issues by calling the 2004 data it provided to ICP “preliminary.” WaMu sent ICP (and presumably others) a correction, restating the number of HOEPA loans, and said that was the only correction.
		In fact, information about WaMu’s directors, including their other holdings, was released by the OTS during the WaMu - Dime Savings proceeding in 2001, as was information about the subsidiaries of the target (in that case, Dime Savings).
		While WaMu has confirmed receiving requests for information from the New York AG, it’s worth noting that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s and the Clearing House’s lawsuits last week against the NY AG would not block any scrutiny of Washington Mutual.

	Report: JPMorgan and WaMu are good potential strategic fit - Sep. 25, 2006
		But a recent report from research firm CreditSights said competitor JPMorgan Chase (Charts) is emerging as an even better banking partner for WaMu (Charts) over the next year given the company's higher stock valuation and the ability of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to appeal to the investing community.
		Assuming a 20 percent premium, CreditSights estimated that a deal between JPMorgan and WaMu would be 1 percent dilutive to JPMorgan's earnings in the first year, neutral to earnings by the second year and 2 percent accretive to earnings by year 3.
		At WaMu's recent investor day presentation in Seattle, the company's chief executive Kerry Killinger said he expects the housing market to be soft for some time.

	WaMu nickname sticks
		In the past, Killinger has said that the only drawback to the existing name is that the company's operations aren't limited to Washington and it's no longer a mutual company (one owned by depositors).
		Killinger said the shorthand name WaMu likely originated in the company's Nasdaq ticker symbol, WAMU, when it went public in 1983 (WaMu is now traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol WM).
		WaMu will continue to use the corporate logo of a blue W on a gold background, but intends to update other graphic elements and typefaces.

		The arrival of a US issuer to the European covered bond market could herald a flood of new supply in coming years, which would seriously alter the balance of a market dominated by German and Spanish issuers.
		Richard Kemmish, director of covered bonds at Credit Suisse, which is not involved in the WaMu deal, says that US banks have a strong background of raising funds in the capital markets through mortgage-backed securities.
		Covered bonds saw their first incarnation in Germany in the late 1700s, but it was the passing of Pfandbrief legislation in the country in 1900 that seeded what became the largest bond market in Europe.
