USB in my view is the safest of the major U.S. banks for playing a potential turnaround in the financial/banking industry in 2008 and beyond. Berkshire Hathaway’s investment helps mightily with the thesis, but so does the 6 percent dividend yield, and the relatively negligent exposure to subprime (at least in relation to many of its peers). USB won’t leap and bound, but it will be market-beater.
