My understanding is that there are some huge tax benefits/writeoffs for Wells Fargo in aquiring Wachovia. These obviously would have gone to Citi as well. One of the reasons they want to take over/buy out some of the banks in trouble.
Citibank! Idiots!

Clinton administration pushing for more minorities becoming homeowners - basically at any expense. This was the start of the whole mess IMHO - forcing Fannie and Freddie (and thereby the banks that underwrite through these giants) to use food stamps as an acceptable source of income on a mortgage application!!!! If you don't have an income, how can you use a borrowed income to borrow more money!!! Ridiculous. Home ownership is a right, affirmative action has no place - its simple mathematics, make the money = spend the money.

As I said "IMHO". And I certainly was not enticing any political flames. And I don't condone entitlement programs of any sort, however, the GI Bill as affirmative action? Tuition assistance and stipend during re-education for employment in the world, post military service is not IMO a.c. I believe that to be a benefit of the "employer".Last edited by chopnhack; 11-25-2008, 07:59 PM.I think in straight lines, but dream in curvesComment

This is a pretty interesting development. Carlos Slim is Mexico's wealthiest man. I'm pretty certain the shares are being purchased for his account. Very shrewd guy, somewhat in the mold of Warren Buffett.Comment
