Yesterday as our new president Barack Obama took the oath of office with his hand on Lincoln's bible, the stock market was tanking and the financial stocks were taking the worst of it. The overall market was down about 3.5% and one of the stocks included in Chasing Value: 9 picks for 2009 -- APC, GE, ISRG, WFC and more, Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), dropped about 20% -- yikes!
