Cramer's Stop Trading! One of the Best-Run Banks in the World (8/20/09)

I had owned WHR for its dividend for many years, selling it all when it got to the mid-80's a couple of years ago, which I thought was too rich a valuation, even with the then thriving house-ATM bubble.

Earlier this year, I again loaded up on it in the low-30's to low 20's, expecting to hold it for many years. However, the unexpected generosity of those who wished to pay mid-50's to low-60's for it overcame my desire to hold it long-term, and I confess that I had to let them have it. I hope I can buy it back at a lower price, but, if not, I am grateful for such an unexpected, quick and tidy profit.

Thank you Martin, another great and succinct look that cuts through the fog.

I'd like to add my voice to the gentleman who asked about BCS. Any thoughts there?

Any thoughts about M&I?

Thanks again.
