    Those houses in Hawaiian Paradise Park have a bit farther to fall still, even a year after this article. Hank Correa isn't in the same reality we are when he's pricing a rat infested, moldy, tear-down house at the price of neighboring houses. No wonder the place has been on the market nearly two years now... Reply

    I don't know whether anyone will read this late posting, but my put is the market is going back to the 2001-2003 bear market low.

    What happens next is another story.

    I am new at trading. I want to make my first trade by buying $7500 in etrade and hold for 1 - 2 yrs.
    I mean how lower can the stock value go? In July of 2007 it was at $22. I guess the worst thing is bankrupcy which I think its unlikely.

    Do you guys think it would be a good buy??

    Thanks in Advanced !!!

    ETFC current earnings estimates for 2011 are for $1.08/share.

    www.nasdaq.com/earning...

    At a PE of 15 that gives you $16.20.

    But this a low-ball estimate as ETFC is paying down their debt at an accelerated rate and this estimate also understates ETFC’s true growth potential as being the best on-line trading platform hands-down.

    $1.08/share could easily double by 2011.

    Now you’re looking at a $32.40 share price, or least something in between $16.20 - $32.40.

    This target will be reached before 2011, of course, as the market tends to race to true valuations prior to actual earnings materializing.

    Also AMTD & other companies interested in acquiring ETFC are well aware of how rapidly ETFC share price is going to appreciate and have a vested interest in naked shorting the crap out of the stock down to levels that would make a cheap buyout offer appear reasonable.

    (THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME)

    So either way, short-term ETFC gets acquired for a decent return for shareholders, ($8.00 - $12.00) or she doesn’t get bought and appreciates on her own upwards toward $16.00 - $32.00 over the next 18 - 24 month.

    The naked shorties know what this company is going to be worth and they want as many of your shares as they can possibly scrounge.

    BAD TIME TO BUY?!-

    This is a fear driven market, thats when its a good time to buy. But i have to say, how can it be a bad time to buy if the prices have never been lower?

    Well you can all not make money, while i go out and buy a couple houses.

    I totally disagree. Its never been a better time to buy.

    If you have been responsible & accually have good credit, there are a number of lenders willing to finance at favorable rates & terms. In fact, I have just closed on a single family home a few days ago, & Iam able to receive financing for over 180% of purchase price. The beautiful thing is- THIS PROPERTY WILL STILL CASH FLOW AFTER PULLING OUT ABOUT 100K!!!

    I LOVE THIS MARKET ALL OF YOU NAYSAYERS OUTTHERE!!!

    Well, I got my post censored. I guess if you really LIKE something it stays, but if you simply post anything contrary it disappears. Hmmm. I restate that this is not insightful, just a 'rehash' of old information. Is that so harsh it need to be censored? Reply

    The coming Deflationary Depression that the FED and the Bush Administration have engineered will most probably last 2 decades. I have no doubts that it will be worldwide, immeasurably deep and long lasting. The largest banks are insolvent and hiding their losses. And during the last 6 months of this administration, we are experiencing rampant commodity bubbles that are further engineered through corrupt government policies that allow Enron Type speculation. Pretty soon we will be paying $20 for a single patty burger at MCD's and rating them with tripple straws.
    I blame this fiasco on both parties. Moreso on the republican brand of mis-government. At the end of this administration we will be lucky to have any form of retirement benefits, pensions or a solvent dollar. Have to admit G.W.B. is the worst president in the history of the U.S.

    During the preceding days of the Bear Stearns buyout the stock did trade at close to $2.00/share, much less than the asset value of Bear Stearn's buildings, offices and real estate that it sat on. Those that bought at those prices made 400%-500% when the sale went through. Washington Mutual is not facing bankruptcy. The conservative S&P revised estimates WaMu at $7.00/share based on 0.3 price to book There are still very big, very well run mutual fund companies, like Oakmark Funds that still hold large quantities of WaMu. I think there might be a good buy in WaMu at these oversold prices. Reply

    The word from the nypost is that J.P. Morgan has Washington Mutual on the top of its wish list of buys. I looked back to March of this year. J.P. Morgan's first offer for Bear Stearns was for $2.00/share. The buy out was finalized at $10.00/share. Does anyone know what the purchase price of WaMu might be. It traded as low as $5.05 (for good reason or not) today down from about $40. not too long ago. Reply
