Wells Fargo is updated and remains rated (lower) strong Buy now at $44.45. It seems to be a very well run company. It should continue to do well over the years. From time to time it will likely have a bad quarter or year simply due volatility in certain gains and losses. It is my fourth largest position. I lament somewhat that I did not leave it as my largest position but instead I sold a considerable amount of shares as it rose, to be prudent. In reality that was probably a very good decision (given the facts and risks) even though in hindsight it would have been better to keep all the shares.
