Wells Fargo, An Honest Bank with Good Valuations Invested by Warren Buffett

Wells Fargo not paying cash bonus to four of its top executives is yet another sign that this honest bank with good valuations should be considered by investors.  Warren Buffett invested in it.  At current share price, it's worth considering.  Do you agree? Please write to us and let us know.

Los Angeles. There are not many banks that are as honest as Wells Fargo.  There are not many banks that have such good corporate governance as Wells Fargo.  There are not many banks stick to their words as Wells Fargo.  Many banks went bankrupt, while others were rescued by the federal government.  Wells Fargo, the bank invested by Warren Buffett, with such low valuations, should be considered as a long term investment by the investors.

During the exotic zero interest rate mortgage loan period a few years ago, Wells Fargo was the only major bank that kept its traditional loan practices.  Many loan agents were angry at the bank.  Yet, a few years later, Wells Fargo is one of the soundest banks around.

Wells Fargo does not have the branch size of Citibank, nor the attractiveness of UBS for some of the wealth management products for some of the super rich, it grows steadily, and remains one of the largest banks in the United States, and certainly one of the most sounded banks.
