Note: in the ActBlue list of funders, both Herb Sandler and Patricia Bauman are dead. The funding is being carried out by namesake (in Bauman's case it was set up by her father, she was President) foundations. As a side-note, the innovations in mortgage financing developed by Herb and Marion Sandler's Golden West Financial were a contributing factor of the Great Recession; and the sale of Golden West resulted in one of the greatest market calls of all time.*

We've looked at the timing of the sale of Golden West Financial on two occasions, the first linking to the most prescient bit of analysis we've ever had on Climateer Investing.*

....On August 10, 2007, you may remember it as the week about which Goldman's David Viniar said:
“We were seeing things that were 25-standard deviation moves, several days in a row”
which caused some jollity among the cognescenti, see: "How Unlucky is 25 Sigma", we posted:
The Day the Music Died--The Mortgage Business
which referred back to the May 6, 2006 sale of Golden West to Wachovia.
The post also contained this bit from some guy in India:
On May 10, 2006 India Daily said:Not a bad call.
Sell of Golden West Financial to Wachovia signifies burst of housing bubble
Four days after the sale and two months before John Paulson started his first sub-prime fund.
The second look was in 2010:
"Happy Anniversary, Wells Fargo and Wachovia!" (WFC; WB)
