(closed on 07/02/09)
Filed under: Major movement, Good news, Rants and raves, Market matters, Wells Fargo (WFC), Chasing Value, Headline news, Stocks to Buy  I have written many times in the past year about Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) and since it is up another 23.66% today, I'd like to come back to it. As an investor I have done more than just blab (or blog) about it. I have been loading up on the stock, acquiring shares at $12.00 when the bears were ruling the market only a short time ago -- a very short time ago!
In the last month, Wells is up an amazing 48.41%, and that for the safest bank in the United States. Th...

Carolinas and Phils have both been handed over to Wachovia guys. That is a very positive sign for this rodeo. The acquisition is being handled much better than the one by BAC as on date. The following is from strtribune.com of the 17th January 2009 The CEO of Wells Fargo & Co., now the nation's fourth-largest banker, said Friday the bank has ample capital and has grown its loan portfolio by about 20 percent in the past year as it has taken business from weaker competitors in the beleaguered financial services industry. The brass at Wells Fargo, which recently acquired capital-...

Strong bank pick

+43.98%
in

Despite the negative buzz surrounding bank stock right now, a couple of fundamentals remain. One, investor confidence is the only way many of these banks are going to turn it around, and two, some banks are still performing well even within the hurricane of doubt that currently exists. I have held WFC shares for quite some time and am taking advantage of the current share price to increase that amount. Wells Fargo is not by any means doing anything groundbreaking or revolutionary, however there are many reasons to get behind a solid stock with slow-steady growth if not only to help increas...

Why fight the Fed

(closed on 05/16/09)
The Fed is actively working to reduce the cost of borrowing by reducing risk premiums with direct purchase of mortgage-backed securities. <> These direct purchases reducing risk premiums will directly influence mortgage rates from 5.500% last week to a target of 4.500% before long. New mortgages will drive up earnings across the board. It will also encourage the reflation of housing with new purchases, which will help homebuilders (the stimulus will also likely include a backdating of tax credits which will help earnings fpr homebuilders also). Speculation is also out on a housing b<><>...

I didn't think so. Not unless you were shorting the market, and in particular financials. I got clobbered with everyone else. There were not many places to hide. Picking winners was like guessing where each piece of debris would land after the tornado moved through town.

Filed under: Major movement, Rants and raves, Market matters, Wells Fargo (WFC), Chasing Value, Stocks to Buy  Chasing is the right word for this column. I have been following Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) for several years, I own the shares, having bought on dips and I have several accounts at the bank, but the recent chart on this stock is quite strange indeed. It was only last week I posted Chasing Value: Wells Fargo is getting weird when it was around $25 a share, but that was up from $21 a few days earlier and now it is trading about $32.50.
The stock has traded under $20 and over $36 intraday,...

<> Although banks will continue to face earnings pressure for the next 3 to 5 quarters, the proposed Wells Fargo merger with Wachovia will prove to be a positive transaction for Wells and Wachovia shareholders. Wells does not anticipate the transaction to be accretive to earnings until late 2010 or early 2011. Ultimately, the combined firm will have a massive breadth of products and services to offer its customers which will improve revenues. Furthermore, Wells will be able to bolster its securities business as well as improve it wealth management business with the aquisition of Wachovia's<>...
