| 0:00.0 | Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's |
| 0:06.7 | CNBC Investing Club morning meeting. |
| 0:08.5 | Let's talk Wales. |
| 0:10.0 | Wells Fargo, there was a piece came out this point in Chapman. |
| 0:14.0 | Basically said that this is new, it's bad, it's going to cost them a lot of money. |
| 0:20.0 | It's old, it's not bad, and it won't cost them a lot of money. And I think that we have to recognize, as we said yesterday at the meeting, this is the bank stock to buy, if you want to buy a bank stock. It was up 20% now. It's only up six. And this story, what, not a canardom, who wants to be in the paper saying all the stuff is happening? But it's been behind the scenes. It's been going on for a long time. Not new news. So let's explain |
| 0:41.8 | what happened. So the stock was higher for most of the session yesterday, but it fell, it was down |
| 0:46.9 | close to 6% at one point, closed down around 4%. This was after the office of the controller |

| 1:17.6 | that could take up their expense outlook, although the CFO was at the Barclays conference |

| 1:27.9 | He said he felt comfortable with the expense guy for the year. |
| 1:30.5 | Pinto and JPMorgan, who dropped not one bomb but multiple bombs. |
| 1:34.4 | And then of course one could argue that this could be a setback in Wells Fargo's timeline |
| 1:39.7 | to get that asset cap removed. |
| 1:42.6 | Maybe, maybe not. |
| 1:43.6 | It's really unclear about this timeline anyway. It's really unclear about, I'm told no. Okay. It's |
| 1:45.5 | really unclear about this timeline anyway. No one really knows will it be next year. Maybe the year |
| 1:49.8 | after that. Who knows? But I think it's also important to note that, you know, Wells Fargo, |
| 1:56.5 | isolated incident. There's also some language in the filings from Bank of America and city in some of |
