Mass Exodus from Wells Fargo

Down 5% currently on huge volume of over 180mm shares.

Like I said earlier:

Wells Fargo is mathematically insolvent in its current state.

Company has 16 bucks in Book Value or roughly $60 Billion.

Wachovia potential worse case Mortgage losses are $55-$60 Billion.

How are they still paying out $1.36 in dividends or roughly $4.887 billion?

They only made $0.75 a share last year and are expected to make only $1.25 for 2009.

They have to eliminate the dividend because:

1- Tier 1 Capital Ratios are low
2- Low Tangible Common Equity
3- Loan Loss Reserves are to optimistic.

Again...irresponsible management.
