Wells Fargo (WFC): Bank with Buffet
2008-08-01 07:00:00 "Wells Fargo (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=wfc) (NYSE: WFC (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=wfc)) reported excellent numbers and also hiked their dividend," says Stephen Leeb (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2234). Here he looks at one of his core portfolio holdings in The Complete Investor (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2234)."Ke-ep in mind that more write-offs will no doubt be reported from the banking sector in the coming quarters. But while we may not have seen the bottom in the banking sector just yet, with the group trading at less than 10 times earnings, the downside risk is probably quite limited. "Meanwhile, Wells Fargo also surprised everyone by raising its dividend 10%. The higher dividend temporarily put the yield on WFC shares over 5%. "If the company's managers were really worried that spiraling bankruptcies and mortgage delinquencies could seriously affect it, they would be hoarding cash by c...
Time to bank on Wells Fargo?
2008-07-23 08:00:00 "The financial sector got a boost after our Wells Fargo (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=wfc) (NYSE: WFC (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=wfc)), a buy recommendation in our model income portfolio, reported better-than-expected earnings," notes Jack Adamo (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2204). The editor of Insiders Plus (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2204), explains, "While Wells, like virtually every other bank, is dragging its heels a bit on recognizing losses on bad mortgages, there were elements of the report that were unquestionably great.""Whatever the “reason,” for the rise in financials, the fact remains that the group firmed. This was the relief rally I’ve been expecting for a few weeks. ""The question here is whether the strength in the financial sector will be sustained for a time, and whether it will infuse the broader market. Meanwhile, in its latest quarterly report, Wells Fargo re...

"Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo warn 'delusional' investors on stocks." So
2008-04-16 11:23:00 So what's your investment portfolio look like today?On stocks, are you a bull or a bear?I'm neither. I'm still into "asset preservation" and currency diversification. Commodities, food, oil, foreign markets, multinationals, dividend payers, foreign currencies, gold, silver. Knowing Bernanke is doing all he can to start a new bubble somewhere (hint - it's already well underway) while destroying the dollar. Some companies are going to be going away these next few months, others will see their stocks continue to get pummeled, while others will do just fine. And there's a LOT more surprises to come. I have one word for this market: Dangerous. Invest carefully. Read Crash Proof. Read Manias, Panics and Crashes. And don't put all your eggs in the US dollar. Cash is King - but cash comes in many forms, not just Bernanke's US dollars.Wall Street faces the growing risk of an equities bloodbath in coming months as the credit crunch spreads to the wider economy and earnings crumble, acc...

Wells Fargo Identifies Loudoun County As An "At Risk Market"
2008-02-29 20:46:00 Wells Fargo just named most of Northern Virginia including Loudoun County as an "At Risk Market". In doing so, they will be limiting the number and types of loan products available and increasing the credit guidelines for borrowers in this area. This will affect buyers/borrowers by making it harder to obtain a loan. It may also affect current borrowers who have already been approved by Wells Fargo much in the same way Fannie Mae revaluated or even revoked already-approved loans waiting to close. With credit guidelines and interest rates increasing daily and loan products diminishing, it's getting harder and more expensive to buy a home by the day. If you're a buyer on the fence, you may want to think about getting down. If you're a seller with your home on the market or if you're on the fence on whether to sell now or wait, you may want to get extra aggressive with your marketing and price or put your home on the market now before it gets even harder for buyers to buy. ...

Scott Anderson, economist at Wells Fargo Bank, put his eyeball to the Orange County market … Eyeball: What’s your outlook for the O.C. housing market for 2008? Scott: The O.C. housing market is becoming more unbalanced by the day. This is evident in the glut of existing home inventories in the County.

The final nail in the proverbial coffin was the August and September financial turmoil, which is quickly morphing into a full-blown...

Wells Fargo Online Website is Down
2007-08-24 18:24:00 I just want to let everyone that is frustrated know that the Wells Fargo Online Website is Down right now. I know it doesn’t give anyone comfort in knowing this but at least we know it’s not our connection that is at fault. No one knows exactly what is wrong yet (not even Wells Fargo) but they are working on fixing the issue. I bet this is the same problem they had on Monday when the website was down for one day. It seems like there is a major problem in Well Fargo’s servers right now so hang on tight and let them do their debugging / fixing. In the mean time, everyone who calls their technical support line is probably only going to get the usual “Sorry for the inconvenience but we are working hard to troubleshoot the problem and it will be up soon” type of message after you wait an hour on the phone. If you need money in the mean time, try to go to the branch and talk to them to see what options you have. One thing you can do is buy something c...

"Everybody is sitting there waiting for a bank to screw up. It's like following behind an armored car, waiting for them to make a big mistake, and Wells Fargo just made a big one."Many Wells Fargo banking operations, including online and ATM services, were knocked offline Sunday in an outage that continued to affect users Tuesday.Link to complete story: http://www.computerworld.com/ac-tion/article...

ATM Receipts - Wells Fargo vs Bank of America
2007-08-12 19:02:00 My fiancée and I happened to withdraw money from our respective banks (Wells Fargo and Bank of America) recently and I want to show everyone the ATM receipts to see if they provide different information. As you can see above, they both provide the date and time of the transaction as well as the location. Furthermore, the last four digit of the account number is shown along with the amount withdrawn and available balance. Personally, I like the Wells Fargo ATM receipt more because it is better organized. Looking at it carefully, we can also see that everything is better spaced out on the Wells Fargo version. The back of the receipts are quite different however. The Wells Fargo version uses the back to show some advertisements for their website as well as their 1-800 phone number (compared to Bank of America showing the number on the front without the website address). Again, Wells Fargo’s receipt is better because the bank is able to use the receipt more fully than its compet...
