WaMu taken over this weekend?

Symbols: BAC, JPM, LEHMQ, WAMUQ

Well, it's "asset seizure Friday" and in order for WM to open back up on Monday the FDIC will be knocking on its doors sometime tonight - probably 7:30-8 ish East Coast time. The question is... will this be seen as a positive by the market - meaning another junk bank has been removed from the sector and the market opens up? Or is this going to be the harbinger of another round of vicious selling...

If JPM buys them for $5.00+ market will be positive. Same goes for LEH, if someone buys LEH for $7.00+ we will see rally on Monday.

I heard LEH was in talks with BAC. WM, I've heard less about, so nothing to contribute.
