You think you've made bad investments?

Three months ago, with Washington Mutual's shares at $13.15, Forth Worth, Texas-based TPG and a group of investors agreed to buy $7 billion of stock at $8.75, a 33 percent discount. The stock slumped 35 percent yesterday to $3.23, leaving TPG's investment down 63 percent. TPG also has warrants to buy 57.1 million shares at $10.06 a piece.

Oh heck, it'll probably work out . . . .
