I was thinking recently about the failed Citigroup Wachovia deal. As a Wells Fargo stockholder, I was in favor of the Wachovia deal because of the large deposit base that Wells is picking up. The merger will give Wells Fargo a major presence on the East Coast and should increase earnings in the future. But I can’t help thinking, what would have happened if Citigroup had gotten Wachovia?

I hope all you Cramerican’s started your Wachovia positions when I posted last….if so, you have realized quite a gain….might want to resize your position…

Another big CEO is forced out during the housing crunch and lowered earnings. Wachovia chief executive Ken Thompson was pushed out Monday as head of the nation's fourth-largest bank, following Stanley O'Neal at Merrill Lynch & Co. and Charles Prince at Citigroup Inc.
