According to Wells Fargo's (WFC) Michael Schumacher, he would seriously consider a 150 basis point hike, and says “Why not just rip off the Band-Aid. Let’s get there in one day." Do you think the Fed should hike the rate that high?

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.
Dana M is engaged and she cheats on her husband with dudes she meets at bars and networking events She fucked around with JPM BAC WFC MS UBS GS dudes

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

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. Thisisfine.jpg
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
If investor B holds so many stocks that his portfolio is indistinguishable from SPY, then he's not a "single stock investor". He spreads the risk the same way an ETF does. Buying individual stocks without "gambling" requires work. You need to follow the company, its earnings, understand its business and its market. If you can't do that, then you should avoid single stocks. Munger once said *"diversification is a protection against ignorance"*, and that's what I wrote in fewer words. Munger's Daily Journal holds only 4 stocks (BABA, BAC, USB, and WFC).
Whar does everyone think of my 4/25 $60 WFC puts? Got in this morning at $0.21.
What does everyone think about my WFC 4/25 $60 puts. Got in this morning. Premium seemed way cheap.
this entire country is run by banks. the banks own the federal reserve. the federal reserve prints money and lends it to the government... when the fed wants... and the fed is run by former wall street employees who all have millions of dollars in JPM BAC WFC GS MS etc stocks in their portfolios bannon can talk about ending the fed because it sounds cool trump is a billionaire who would have 10x the money he has now if he invested his dads money in the SP500, instead he blew through most of it and bankrupted casinos (PLURAL) however... because of the way our country works... because the FED pushes up asset prices/ the real estate portfolio trump inherited from his daddy has gone up in value but, he still has debts, because he is bad with money. he still loves debt and wants more... because he is bad with money Trump wants lower rates more than anyone. And him and his cronies who taught him how to make TRUMP and MELANIA coin... are literally manipulating the market with tweets so they can get rich **WHAT DO YOU THINK JARED KUSHNER'S RECENT ROBINHOOD HISTORY LOOKS LIKE?** YOU THINK HES HOLDING INDEX FUNDS AND WAITING TO BUY THE DIP?

Wells Fargo, $WFC, says home sales aren’t far off from levels seen in the wake of the Great Recession
Most of the sub is more tech focused so it’s not talked about that much. I like financials. I had a position in WFC, JPM, C and BAC but also sold out of it earlier this year. I have zero regrets selling out of those positions since they’ve declined 20% since I’ve sold. But I plan to DCA into BAC and JPM again with new funds.
Jim Cramer Says Wells Fargo (WFC) CEO “Did a Great Job – That Stock Should Be Higher”
Also interesting that WFC did not pull but reaffirmed guidance on Friday
After Nikki Capocci graduates, she will either be a analyst in the JPM, WFC, BAC, C analyst program or a internal wholesaler at JPM, Lord Abbett, BLK, PIMCO
bro what? CPI/PPI both came in better. JPM, WFC, MS, BLK all had good earnings. what y'all yapping about?
where are those JPM and WFC puts guys right now? glad I scalped 14% off your stupid asses before close yesterday
Yup. That 4/25 200 TSLA put looking pretty good right now. My WFC calls are soon to be vaporized
Puts on XLF, WFC, USB, CFG, HYG, and QQQ. Mostly June expirations. Shorter dated QQQ calls to hedge, and lots of cash to average down on pumps.
Tomorrow: Bank earnings may have an extremely strong influence on markets, much more than normally: Reason is that bank earnings cause shifts in bond markets..., and we know that the past 4 days yields have been shooting straight up, i.e. 10Y from 3.9 on Monday to 4.4 at today's close. If bank earnings come in poor and banks start to sell off, 10Y could rise up to 4.5 or 4.6 tomorrow and that could spook wider markets. If bank earnings come in strong and banks catch a bid, 10Y could fall to 4.2 or 4.3 and that could cause a big rally. Majority of action will happen after market opens because bank earnings are AM earnings calls and market is slow to react to those. So pay close attention to JPM, MS, BLK, BK, WFC. 5 of the most important financials are on deck. A big move on 10Y would probably cause a 4-5% move on SPY tomorrow.
When JPM, BLK, MS, and WFC, all post abysmal earnings tomorrow it's going to be straight downhill. Probably gonna see new low tomorrow. Wish I picked up those 500p but probably going to at open anyways. 
JPM WFC & MS tomorrow. They will set the tenor of earnings season
WFC puts to obvious ??
Up 179% on the WFC puts I picked up yesterday. My own greed is going to fuck me, yet again.
JPM, WFC and MS all report tomorrow AM fyi
im buying spy puts and mck puts and LRN puts Mp puts Jpm PUTS WFC PUTS u get it yet?
How low will WFC go after an abysmal earnings? Gonna line up some puts tomorrow, premiums on SPY are sky high.
FRFH - Fairfax financial. My top pick unless management (Prim) retires which is a ways away Joe - St Joe’s company C - Citi if you have the appetite for it. Or BAC or WFC NTDOY - Nintendo GOOGL unless you believe search functionalities and privacy laws will severely prohibit growth Some kind of exposure to healthcare Oil is a tough one for me, since oil execs prefer to make money for themselves and their employees over shareholder often (nothing wrong with that) American Express Small allocation to Europe/Asia General market etfs as your primary base Allocate excess cash you want to hold for opportunity buys or when you feel you have enough knowledge of a company/the market to treasuries even though that sounds boring That’s a solid horizon. You can only control so much. The market may go down, it may go up. Investing carries risk but offers the easiest entry point to compounding capital
hey if I lose, I lose little. somebody's got to give. WFC selling off mad properties last year, idfk know tho, buying em all.
???????? of course it hasn't happened yet we were waiting for economic data, which is horrible what do you think the timeframe on that was? where do you think we are now? do you think after Lehman collapsed the S&P just halved? it took far longer to lose much less. Tariffs are reversible but the damage is done, you can't just wave a pen and expect the logistics to sort that out naturally. That is why the markets are reacting so hard, there's no need to pretend like our economy isn't a giant house of cards, this debt soaked fantasy is coming to an end if we didn't have so many scams and grifts (a prime orchestrator of them being our own fucking president) maybe people wouldn't be exiting our economy so fast yes the rate in which we're falling is entirely comparable. somebody is defaulting soon, if not they'll kick the can down the road till Q3. My guess are WFC, UBS, but it's like throwing a dart at a really scummy dartboard. who knows what we'll see with private equities, all the dogshit unregulated ETFs that are about to go to 0 not to mention the derivatives market that is currently unwinding in front of our eyes was estimated to be the size of **1 quadrillion**. in 2008, the problematic derivatives were a mere 60-80 trillion.

get another opinion from a professional, just like you would for a house remodel. keep in mind commissions for annuities are large, and i have always avoided them. alternatives? well, 5 year US treasury notes new at last weeks auction were 4.1% and the three year note was 3.9% and if you hold to maturity there is no risk. keeping in mind you are looking for safe yield, I would break it up into three chunks 1) a US treasury bond, 2) a safe preferred stock, one selling at a slight discount from par, probably from a big bank like WFC or BoA, and 3) if you live in a state with high income tax, a municipal bond. also, you could always buy a government agency bond, which pays a wee bit more than treauries.
I guess if all you hold are sector ETFs you can look at it that way There were certainly some big losers in both cases, far more than 10-15%. I cleaned up buying WFC that year. If Id been smarter I would have got in on META too
My mix had little tech involved. I had AMZN, META, MSFT and GOOGL (not counting ETFs) but it represented a small part of my portfolio. I mostly had healthcare (CAH, CI) auto motive (honestly just Toyota), and financials (WFC, BAC, C). Besides that it was ETFs for staples, semiconductors, Japanese stocks, etc. I held onto ET for the dividends and it’s taking a big beating, being -3% for me. My funds will likely still lean healthcare, consumer staples and some more TM.
