    B of A  just pulled out of the wholesale lending industry effective 12/31/2007.  They will focus their business model on direct to consumer lending.
     
    I wonder how much of an effect this will have on Countrywide Shares, considering the huge investment B of A put in them a month ago.
     
    Maybe this was the plan all along?

    boiler-room,

    The price sure isnt talking buyout.

    I would think that the deal MIGHT happen when the stock is in the total crapper..right now their assets are being decimated, cash levels are terrible and if someone buys them they are asking for it.

    Same goes for that LEND purchase..stupid LoneStar..haha they got screwed.

    If that is the case, then you short the hell out of WFC. What a stupid purchase that would be given the current environment.

    If WFC were to announce such a transaction, it would be at a higher price because of the fast decline lately, so if they do this at anything higher than 15 then they are to be shorted at will.

    With the 2B investment B of A made in CW, I can't imagine they'd stand pat as Wells tried to pull the rug out.
     
    Regardless this is an interesting event in the lending insdustry.

    With the 2B investment B of A made in CW, I can't imagine they'd stand pat as Wells tried to pull the rug out.
     
    Regardless this is an interesting event in the lending insdustry.

    I dont see how any firm would buy CFC into this mess, I just do not see it personally.

    IMB rallied hard into the close..quite interesting.

    boiler-room, the market will tell us when high oil hurts..there will be a point that it will CRUSH our markets..it could be a catalyst for a longer term sell-off.

    I personally think it will silently kill our economy, not overnight but it will hurt our GDP going forward and since we have ZERO control over it, there is little we can do.
