In any event, the market's recent focus on this singular event ignores Wells' underlying value. The share price is absurdly low, and presents one of the best opportunities I have seen in years. Clearly, Warren Buffett, Prem Watsa and other successful investors see that as well.

Banks: Rebuilding the House of Cards http://seekingalpha.com/article/141670/comments?source=feed#comment-534930 534930
Don't let silly articles like this distract you from fundamental value. There is nothing wrong with Wells' accounting. The writer seems to think that only declines in market value should be booked, but not their reversals.

Buffett's portfolio is solid and undervalued, his insurance business should soon be recovering from cyclical lows, Geico is doing very well, and his deriviatives investments are very misunderstood. The stock is very attractively priced and offers low risk in a high risk environment. Berkshire is a substantial holding in my personal and client portfolios. Note also that Mason Hawkins took a large position last quarter.]]>

As to Union Pacific, he did NOT double his position. Union Pacific split its stock 2 for 1 in May, thereby doubling the number of shares at half the price. I suggest that whoever edits this information review it for accuracy, as otherwise trusting and unknowledgable people will be grossly misled.]]>

More Problems for the Ailing Financial Sector? http://seekingalpha.com/article/90483/comments?source=feed#comment-231323 231323
The stronger financial institutions will come out ahead when these problems work their way through the economy. Wells Fargo, for instance, reported last quarter that it added 15% to its assets and improved its Tier 1 ratio and its net interest margin. All the gloom forecasters can see is the looming writeoffs that most banks will face over the next few quarters. Looking past that, however, well capitalized, disciplined banks like Wells should profit handsomely from the new business they are getting now, and the assets of troubled banks they are acquiring at a discount.

Wells Fargo is a substantial holding in my personal and client accounts.
