something to think about over the weekend... why AXP, BAC, WFC, XLF and more financials make all time highs today?
I was gonna say, because I noticed others like BAC and WFC didn't drop. Good buy opportunity for some calls maybe.

If the market is open that day. Then you need to ACH transfer it over to your bank. Certain brokers and banks will expedite those but plan for 5 business days for the transfer to fully process unless those are in place. I have been operating like this for years now because my bank (WFC) won't pay spit in interest. My money stays where it can make money until I need it.
>Right, but Berkshire's best deals aren't available on the open market. >When everyone 's hair was on fire in 2008, Warren was making deals with GE and Goldman to "help them out" by buying perpetual preferred shares with a 10% coupon along with warrants to buy common stock at fire sale prices that extended out for years. Very true. I also feel many of Berkshire's best deals were done during the GFC with special in person deals like the ones they got with Goldman Sachs or GE. Some of their China investments were either unavailable or difficult for US investors to mirror. For those cases I don't follow because I can't. It's important to not 1:1 mirror things but to know yourself and the one you're copying/inversing. I bought DAL at the lows after Buffett sold his shares. I suspect DAL or the US government might have wanted BRK to foot some investment prior to getting bailouts or handouts. Or maybe BRK themselves feared for that and dump it first because they didn't like airlines anyways due to them being very cyclically sensitive, needing bailouts every downturn, and better being trading vehicles. I had no issues for a shorter term trade 1-5 or 5-10 years rather than "forever", no one will ask me to foot over money first for bailouts, and I don't mind trading nor volatility. I bought BAC after Buffett bought his shares on the open market for a higher price. BRK did a swap into BAC after dumping WFC. A good move IMO since WFC sullied it's name with the fake/fraud accounts. I also didn't like WFC so I didn't buy Buffett's sell. I personally use BAC but never bought into it but Buffett's buy gave me added confidence to go into it quickly because I assumed BRK had done the homework. So I aimed to buy at or under their $24-25 purchase price. >When you buy Berkshire, you're buying a tiny seat at the table for the kind of deals only they can pull off. That's not something I'll try to dispute. I think it's a sound belief. I just choose not to myself.
You can decide if it's highly regard or exceptionally brilliant yourself. But my reason for buying DAL during the pandemic lows: 1. Buffett/BRK already did the vetting and homework on DAL prior to the pandemic collapse. 2. DAL was the best of the airlines and least likely to be bankrupted. If other died or got consolidated then DAL will get their share or take them over. 3. Most of the companies and airlines were asking for bailouts and based on the GFC most of the biggest ones got bailouts. I had no reason to believe otherwise. 4. This leaves WHY Buffett/BRK sold. They sold WFC and moved to BAC because of the WFC scandal probably made them lose trust in WFC. But why did they also sell DAL? I assumed probably 3 main reasons: Reason A being that airlines aren't great long term investments but more like trading vehicles which BRK might not want in their portfolio. Reason B being that the airlines have proven to dump and be very high VOL every time there is a recession which doesn't play well to BRK's portfolio building style. Reason C being that either the government, DAL, or both expected BRK to hand out cash in a double down either as a precursor to getting PPP/EIDL/bailouts or as a requirement for it. Or BRK feared that might be coming so they dumped out. 5. I wondered if it was right FOR ME to buy DAL at that time since I'm young, could hold for a long time, have a higher risk tolerance, don't mind selling out, and won't be asked to fork over a few hundred million before Pelosi & Trump give DAL a big bag of money. Answer was **YES** so I bailed out Buffett's DAL stocks from his paper hands.

I use TD, idk what WFC is
Was actually just looking at WFC. Leaps and shares.
I think that’s already a WFC thing
I bought WFC puts yesterday and am very happy. Hoping other “banks” slide too
Eyeing NVO calls (After ER), WFC puts, and LRCX puts
Waiting to see if WFC starts to breakdown sometime later this week. Also waiting for NVO earnings. Might go long after ER
Financials have been sluggish recently overall. WFC has been great tho after its ER. Might be a solid short entry next week. Especially since iv had come down
My buddy just told me his dad got laid off by WFC who’s doing mass layoffs and JPMC dropped his major projects. Banks making big cuts under the radar and in silence right now. Load up puts
I bought a 19, and 15 and rode it down, had no confidence when it was mid singles even though I understand the stock and company are really solid, my fault. Could have made so much more but at least I didn't paperhands it. Hopefully not another strong earnings followed by dump! would love to see some actual conviction and life in this stock. They need like a hostile takeover bid from one of the geriatric big boys, WFC or CITI or BAC
Bro WFC is the epitome of dog shit. Take your money and run
$WFC with the recent asset cap removal
Me thinks back to the WFC worker who spent a few days ded in the cubicle...
>Taking loans and trading equity isn't revenue. Didn't say it was revenue. But you can use it (in place of revenue/profit) to pay for business expenses which is what many companies do. I mean this is business/finance 101. Do you know there are many pre-IPO and public companies that don't have any profit or even revenue? How do they get by? Well they raise capital. Do you know well established public companies raise money all the time selling corporate bonds? Now it's all "differerent/special" case so you can try and support some AI bubble argument? I got notification from Fidelity new corporate bonds are available to purchase from C/WFC/GS/JPM - so it must be a banking bubble brewing?
WFC puts here is something I’d really consider after the ER IV dump. Problem is I don’t trust this market enough to have a sustained sell off.
Under rated and not talked about play of the week is either WFC calls all the way up to $88 and WMT $105-$110 calls. WFC calls are 10x across the board and WMT $110 calls are 15x at the moment.
Been calls all week on WFC, WMT, BAC, AMD and GOOG but I think I want to buy puts now. Problem is SPY IV is fucking 34% right now
Not sure if anyone noticed but WFC earnings play is unusual in that if you bought yesterday or waited until low of today the price would have been damn near the same. Now it's up across the board but I'm not sure I've ever seen it that close.
Sold my WFC calls too early
Financial earnings tomorrow JPM GS BLK C WFC … Calls anyone?
Here’s my logic, bank stocks are going to all come in and say the money is magic and stocks aren’t real. Then JPM, GS, and WFC are all going to say we are trying to bail out America because it’s too big to Fail.., which will spook investors and then they will say. The tariffs are working, but we are getting ass fucked by China still so we need to invest in America we are crumbling. This will then send the rocket into the ocean exploding, creating a tidal wave of massive regarded proportions. This will scare investors and make then run to their bunkers selling everything. Trump will tweet on social truth that he is a major proponent of his tariffs and loves to hit things with things stick, so investors will rally behind this from their bunkers, selling everything because they know it means another 100% tariffs on China is coming and he’s about to give them Taiwan as a peace offering so we can get his Nobel peace prize.
If bubble pops, nothing is safe. Look at dot com bubble, WFC. Deepseek and April dip is nothing.
🍆🍆 *Wells Fargo, $WFC, has raised the 2025 US GDP growth forecast to 2% from 1.3%*
A Quick Look and WFC looks fairly valued to me, but I see your point about NECB. I notice revenues and earnings were flat for 2024. What happened? And is that what’s pushing their price down? Did they get into some crappy loans? 90-day non-performing increasing? REO increasing? High-risk portfolio? I think this weekend I’ll dig into their 10K and find out.
Wow okay lots to address here. Yes I do believe humans emitting co2 is causing global warming and that’s going to cause a lot of problems.

Wells Fargo said TSLA $120 target, TSLA should just borrow from WFC til WFC bankrupts!!!!
-911 fewer jobs created, even if they weren't destroyed, still suggests the economy isn't as robust as everyone seems to think. WFC said balances were lower than *pre-pandemic*, not covid. Smal but important distinction. I'm well aware that banks tend to front-run their statements, and I often trade against them when they say to be bullish something or bearish something else. > No it isn't. You are misinterpreting the data. Last month we had a massive 0.7% MoM print. When combining both July and August it implies an annualized producer inflation rate of 7.4%. Okay, conceded. > Do you have evidence corporations are inflating their numbers on a wide scale? Actual cash flows are increasing. Moreover the incomes I stated are individual incomes, not corporate. I don't have the evidence on hand but if you really want I can go try to dig it back up. NVDA is doing funny stuff with their books reports, iirc it's something like double-charging their expenditures to make their AI spend look even more exciting than it really is. TSLA is completely fraudulent. And literally just now overnight ORCL claimed [they would double their sales revenue annually for the next several years.](https://cdn.geekwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/800px-Itanium_Sales_Forecasts_edit-630x428.png) I don't think companies like WMT or TGT are inflating their numbers but they've been saying for awhile now that there's only so much they can do to soak the impact of tariffs. They're also a much smaller portion of the market compared to the wildly inflated bubble companies like mentioned in the previous paragraph. What possibly justifies the insane run STX is on? ANF looked similarly invincible in Summer 2024 before an over 50% correction.
Release from conservatorship and uplisting to public exchange (NYSE). Trump summoned BAC, JPM, C, WFC and GS CEOs in August to the White House to hear their plans to underwrite an IPO for Fannie and Freddie. Scott Bessent has said the IPO will likely be worth north of $500 billion, reflecting a significant premium from current prices.
Well, just for one data point, if you'd done this 10 years ago it would have worked. Half the companies stayed in the top 8 and outperformed the market. The S&P 500 is exactly in the middle - 230% increase since September 2015. On the average you would have beaten this. XOM (Exxon) up 52% WFC (Wells Fargo) up 54% JNJ (Johnson & Johnson) up 92% GE (GE) up 126% GOOG (Google) up 662% AAPL (Apple) up 764% AMZN (Amazon) up 795% MSFT (Microsoft) up 1062%
I’m with the other guy sorta, it isn’t risk free but it really isn’t *that* outlandish to beat the market over time. There are some pretty obvious loser companies and weeding just some of those out will put you ahead. For example a quick glance at top 100 by weight (of spy), some companies I wouldn’t touch for long term outperformance: T-Mobile- ranked 29, no revenue growth over 3 years (actual decent margin expansion tbf), low dividend compared to peers, more expensive compared to peers, and a telephone company which just are kinda lame nowadays UNH - ranked 30, may be closer to a value now but historically expensive and shitty company. Highly hated by their customers. Lots of societal pressure against health insurance and their increasing rates, potential legislative issues, rising competition with a shift away from shitty insurance. I think it may be decent over 5 years, but I’d never buy it and for 10+ years I’m not sure I see a future where they can continue raising rates the way they have the last decade. WFC - ranked 33, but has long history of fraud, high debt, no growth over 5 years, expensive compared to peers, lower quality compared to peers, lower dividend compared to peers. I’d never buy this over other banks. T and VZ - 45 and 52, kinda similar to TMUS but cheaper and higher divs. They’ve been struggling and I don’t see their future getting much better. BA - 58, government won’t let the fail but doesn’t mean they’ll be a good investment. Like WFC they have a long history of poor management, quality issues, and financial stress. People may chase falling knives but why would anyone buy this company? Intel - 100, need I say more here? So there we have 7/100 companies that are dogshit, could also argue mag7 is very expensive and overweighted (like 30% of the etf). So could make your own mini etf excluding these crap companies and properly weight the mag7 likely causing you to outperform. Ofc it’s riskier, takes a bit more effort and you can’t just set and forget, ETFs change their holdings and sometimes you should too. I would advise anyone buying individual stocks to track your performance tho and make sure your risk adjusted returns are worth it, maybe check in every 5-10 years. Most people can’t beat the market, they’re too emotional or gamble, and should just buy ETFs. But the benefit of beating by just 1-2% over a lifetime is HUGE for those who can. For reference I just checked my returns for the last 5 years. I had a beta of 1.64, portfolio *risk adjusted* alpha of 151.82% with a sharpe ratio of 1.476. I don’t expect to maintain this rate of returns for my lifetime, but even half of my cagr for the next decade or two and I’ll be doing alright.
I'm a really big fan of Charlie Munger, who was very high conviction and shared this view on diversification. His entire personal portfolio consisted of 2 stocks... WFC and COST. His influence at Berkshire is apparent, especially when you consider that they allowed AAPL to become a 50% position. When Warren decided to sell like 5% of it, Charlie told him it was a mistake. Once Charlie died, they cut the position substantially... like down to 20-25% Some of my favorite quotes of his are... *"The wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don't. It's just that simple."* *"If you can't stomach 50% declines in your investment, you will get the mediocre returns you deserve"* And then Warren had this quote, definitely showing Charlie's influence... *"Diversification may preserve wealth, but concentration builds wealth."* All that said, this philosophy is definitely not for most people... and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to everyone, who mostly want to just want to set it and forget it. For them, index funds are the way to go.
If you’re lost. Check WFC (Wells Fargo)
they save you and then they haunt you... $UPST - save $WFC - haunt
I have PG. My top three are XOM, WFC, T, which pay me USD 17,945 dividend income this year and growing while I sleep. It helps amidst noises.
$WFC - asset cap was just lifted and it’s now a growth stock
I am mainly into dividend growth businesses in various sectors. Some of them that I hold are XOM, WFC, O, T, MMM, … all 11 positions give me USD 39,000 passive income this year while I sleep. My total invested amount is USD 650k, which includes USD 195.5 k dividend received in total since end 2015 (this is after 30% withholding tax as I am not US citizen) that I reinvested in. Original invested amount of USD 650k has grown to USD 1.4 million.
WFC is the dirtiest bank, they need to go bankrupt this weekend
Which banks are you talking about? XLF is near it's all time high. SOFI, WFC, JPM have all done great this year
WHY THE FICK IS WFC THE ONLY RED BANK?! It’s the only one I have any calls left on
I feel that with WFC. Banks are having Day. Wells Fargo? Nah fuck your bruh
Should I buy calls on TSMC and buy puts on UAL? WFC best and still crashed - mad annoying
Yup I even commented on OPs post from yesterday when He/she was asking about WFC and earnings. I never gamble on earnings, but this honestly wasn’t a bad trade idea. They had really good momentum in their CIB based on the deals they were doing, and coupled with the buybacks and removal of deposit caps from the WFC fake account saga last week, it seemed quite bullish. The guidance really screwed them and the trade, as well as the NII miss, I guess. Honestly though, all financials are down though so if I was OP, I wouldn’t feel too bad (though I think he put his full portfolio into this trade).
CALLS on WFC, easy money
To be fair to OP, risk management wouldn’t have done much for this trade. It dropped before market open due to earnings release. Reddit wasn’t (likely) apart of this trade because everyone was focused on JP Morgan. WFC is a very solid large bank, and announced a 40B buyback program which is very bullish. It beat earnings by a clear margin. Missed on one aspect of earnings (NII), and caused a sell the news drop. This was a gamble, but a “smart” gamble. Just didn’t go his way this time.
Sorry about the loss. I also thought WFC calls would hit. Hopefully over the next few weeks you’re able to average down and recover some, if not all, of the loss.

Watching tweedle dee(C) and tweedle dum(WFC) report tomorrow. Hope they continue to run.
Alright, I've accepted today's just boring as fuck. What's the bank play for earnings on open, WFC, JPM or STT?
Same up about 30% on C and WFC, JPMG is about break even and UAL down about 20. Going to hold until after earning I think tmr and see from there
I’ve scaled back most of these to more reasonable prices and/or pushed back the expiries: * JPM $310 Calls (expiring July 25th) * WFC $87.5 Calls (expiring July 18th) * WFC $92 Calls (expiring July 25th) * C $90 Calls (expiring July 18th) * C $94 Calls (expiring July 25th) * UAL $83 Puts (expiring July 18th)
Not options, but I bought ANGO, C, WFC, BK, BLK last week. Cross fingers for some very good quarter results!!!
My trades for this week (all expiring July 18th): * JPM $310 Calls (biggest position) * WFC $90 Calls * C $94 Calls * UAL $80 Puts (smallest position) I plan to buy at the open.
I suspect JPM, C, BLK, WFC, BK will be green because of ER before market open Tuesday!
Calls on: TSM, NFLX, ASML, JPM, and WFC. Puts on: UAL.
Bilt, WFC's loss-leader, now worth $10.8B apparently.
I like SoFi long-term, but don’t try to time the market if you need the money sooner. It could go to $25-$30 or back to $15 over the next year. Yes it could go higher obviously, I’m being conservative. If you want a more probable increase in a banking stock do some diligence on WFC. I think this one will rise, but it won’t double in months. Remember, this is investing, not gambling. Big easy hits are rare. When you swing for the fences chances are you’ll strikeout more than you hit home runs. If you really need the best-egg you’re saving then honestly put it in a HYSA for a few months. Lock it in right now, rates will absolutely go down at some time this year. It’s a boring approach with little upside…but 100% security on money you will need.
I’ve said this before, but over the longer term I equate UNH to what WFC went through. Longstanding large company with a legacy (not all good) but simply too big to fail. UNH will rise again, just as WFC did. Doesn’t mean you have to like the company or how they make their money. But from an investment perspective it will be fine. Patience will be the biggest challenge.
What have you seen? I know for WFC, lifting the asset cap should be huge for them.
Did you guys buy Financial’s? MS WFC STT BK. It’s free money through end of year
Good luck! Banks seem like an interesting set up right now, but what drew you to WFC?
Bought a few more today. Playing AEHR and WFC earnings call.
Why I sold BAC and WFC? Why?
Torn between SPY calls, WFC/JPM/GS calls, or TSLA puts for the dumbass 0DTE play for tomorrow
From my bro chatgpt Ally Financial (ALLY) – major auto loan provider Santander Consumer USA (SC) – heavily focused on subprime auto lending Capital One Financial (COF) – significant auto loan exposure Wells Fargo (WFC) & Bank of America (BAC) – large indirect auto lending arms GM Financial (owned by GM) and Ford Credit (privately held but benefits GM/Ford)
Couldn’t agree less. Investment banking is about to percolate and a coming wave of deregulation is going to help WFC, C etc. GS is on fire, as is JPM. WFC is out of penalty box finally and about to jump. Financials look great, IMO
Yes. The exodus is over exaggerated. Tech has been moving into NYC and big names Citadel, GS, WFC, JPM are expanding their NYC operations. A big reason driving the exodus is housing costs / affordability in general. Taxes have some part, but firms will suck it up if they can acquire top talent.
I'm looking at WFC. It's printing non stop since last friday
WFC, a bank, not a tech stock, will outperform Google due to unique conditions of this bank mark my words 🖨️🖨️🖨️ SquattingGreenhulk.jpeg
WFC green_squatting_hulk.jpeg
WFC outperforming AMD today and last friday damn 🖨️🖨️ going brr I never even considered wells Fargo until fed lifting sanctions news. It was such an easy and obvious pick https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/view-wells-fargo-asset-cap-lifted-allowing-bank-grow-2025-06-03/
WFC has always been a money maker for me. Every time they 🍆 their consumers I buy the dip. WFC is america’s Deutsche Bank.
WFC long for a swing trade, 2 weeks until 80 / sh
Jim Cramer, "I see WFC, a club name, going much higher.... same with COF but for different reasons obviously"
Puts on WFC calls on HOOD 
May 19 (Reuters) - Moody's on Monday downgraded the long-term ratings of top American lenders such as JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), opens new tab, Bank of America (BAC.N), opens new tab and Wells Fargo (WFC.N), opens new tab, after pushing the U.S. out of top triple-A rating club over its burgeoning $36 trillion debt.

Correct, even though the core components of NASDAQ, WFC, JPM, & BOA are going to be hit pretty hard, I feel like QQQ is diversified enough financial stocks won't hurt them.
she’s a rookie, her port will go tits up soon. all these look like great shorts (i’ve been in all of them for a while): JPM/BAC/WFC got downgraded today, half a trillion in unrealized losses they need to mark UP (rates). also, all 3 have major exposure to syndicated loans (highly leveraged, floating rate assets w/ soaring default rates: ~8-10% per fitch). walmart runs on 3% margins…. potus can say w/e, but they’ve already issued a $1B term loan (3ish weeks ago), and the “actual” markup to cost is around 55% at the “new lows,” plus china just added new ones today… they’re up like 70% y/y, so i could definitely see a solid drawdown in their future.
As I said on earlier list- this is a WFC analogous situation At Worst. UNH will be fine, once out of penalty box. Stanley Cup playoffs season reference intended.
Bought in later part of NOV and early Dec 2008 GS avg price $55. BOA some time frame AVG. $9.00, JPMavg $17, WFC avg $16 and XLF avg $9
IMO the best analogy to the UNH situation is what WFC went through. Body slammed for a few years. But a very large and important company in the US. I think UNH will be back but it won’t receive the premium multiple it enjoyed for a lot of years.
Feels more like WFC during the fake account scandal. Though it did take several years for it all to resolve.
XLRE / VNQ underperforming vs the market recovery, housing market showing cracks XLF is a different story. not as confident about this anymore as I'm afraid whatever exposure could be covered by the meme-market pumps. IMO if history remains true in the future SOMEBODY has to default and that's why I'm going short on the basket itself, not just individual banks, but I have them too (OWL, ZION, APO, ARES, JPM, BAC, WFC) just in smaller portions and again deep OTM far expiry All in I will lose about $6,000 by 2027 if we don't see some sort of recession by then, but I think the majority of WSB/ Americans are ignoring the warning signs for a **global** recession and are short sighted by the value of american tech / drunk off the bull party
WFC looks stronger than a limp schlong
get a CFA and work for JPM or WFC in PWM. you can continue being a degenerate, but still earn a commission on losing you and your client’s money
