Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) CEO John Stumpf drank from the same watercooler as Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC) Ken Lewis when he bought Wachovia and its $70 billion-plus in option ARMs.
It will survive, but it has no room to grow due to upcoming write-offs -- three to five years' worth at a minimum.
Real shareholder value: a lot less than the current stock price

Mr Schulman.I bought you Portfolio Killer #6(WFC) on March 6th for $8.50.Its now $13.94.When am I going to get killed? You seem to be touting from the hip. But never the less,I suppose even a stopped clock is right twice a day.Maybe your clock needs new batteries.

Only serious jail time and the disposal of all assets will slow and maybe stop theft and greed. They need to see what happens to common people who steal cars, rob stores, and have three strikes. I for one would like to see the resources currently dedicated to the IRS going after the billions not te hundereds. I will pay my 10% as should everyone. Even the big guys.

Why does anyone care what a health care analyst thinks about banks. This guy is writing about JPM and Wells as if he knows something about financial institutions, but he has no expertise in the description of his background. I wonder why things like this even get posted.
