  • Wells Fargo (WFC) has been complaining about taking part in TARP for a year, saying they didn't need the funds, didn't want them, were forced to take them and want to pay them back. But the bank hasn't bought back $25B in preferred shares, and Jonathan Weil thinks he knows why: It can't afford to and needs TARP more than it admits.

  • J,Weil is right that they have too low Tier 1 common 5.2 compared to BAC"s 7.2 or JPM's 8.1%..but Weil has an agenda against the banks.
    He doesn't say that Bac's fair value gap inproved by 26 billion. Also
    he doesn't address the preprovision earnings as if these banks can't
    make income statement capital.
