Wells Fargo: Please Dilute Shareholders and Repay TARP Now!

What dilution are you talking about?! WFC is trading well above TBV, and thus any issuance would be ACCRETIVE to book value. Yes, today's shareholders would own a smaller percentage of Wells, but it would be a smaller piece of a larger pie.

Do you know what would be dilutive? REPURCHASING SHARES (contrary to your suggestion). This is basic finance, and you shouldn't be posting if you don't understand it.

How TARP Paybacks Expose Weakest Banks

I agree with the main contention of this article - but anyone who didn't already know that BAC and C were two of (if not #1 and #2) weakest banks in the country? If you need the government to tell you which banks are (relatively) strong, and which are at risk of failure, you shouldnt be investing in the sector.
