Fundamentals are just too good. Management is sound, healthy dividend is covered. WFC steered clear of most of the more insane financial instruments. May go down from $30.74 but will end the 12 months up. Buffett's right on this one.

Wells Fargo is a bank in CA, that has not sold off, yet. Next to Florida, CA is going to get hit by a wave of mortgage defaults. As the recession becomes more apparent and unemployment numbers climb CA is going to be hurt even more.

-Wells Fargo is the nations 5th largest bank, yet only operates in the western half of the US. Growth potential is hard to deny. Once or if they decided to expand to the eastern US, this will be the biggest bank in the US.
