  Couldn't be that because they are the holders of A LOT of bad mortgages, could it?
  No of course not. I mean they, like other banks are making money hand over fist according to their latest earnings reports.
  Right?
  Or were they lying to everyone?
  
  Yikes. Preferred are getting shellacked!

  Have been seeing a lot of rumours on the negative side of late.....think that shorts are desperate.
  
  Agree that SA should not be allowing such unsubstantiated rumours.

  You guys holding WF stock and preferreds are probably right. It won't make any difference when, in January, FASB begins requiring off balance sheet assets to be reported on balance sheet. It probably doesn't matter that WF has nearly $1.8 Trillion in off balance sheet assets either. And won't be any problem for WF to raise over $70 Billion is additional capital to meet reserve requirements. And you guys can be sure that you won't be diluted one bit, right? So, there's no problems at WF and we should all keep buying and propping up the stock.
  
  If WF holds above $15 a share all the way to May 2010 I'll be very, very surprised.
