There are WaMu options that expire in January of 2008.
WWIMI, with a $45 strike price, trades at 5.75. Given the 9/1 stock price of 41.90, that’s an eminently reasonable premium.

davelj,
I have a question wrt/ the supply side of shorting. Let’s hypothetically assume I own 1000 shares of WaMu, and that poway wants to short WaMu. How could I go about lending some of my shares to poway? What sort of premium should I expect for the loan (or, from a differnt perspective, what is the carrying cost of a short position?)
