		<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Update 08 Mar 2009</strong>:  <a href="http://www.thenewstribune.com/business/story/414856.html">Remember this</a>:
<blockquote>Wells Fargo gave anxious investors a pleasant surprise Wednesday, reporting a profit drop that was milder than anticipated and lifting its quarterly dividend by 10 percent.

Wells Fargo’s second-quarter profit fell 22 percent as more customers at the nation’s fifth-largest bank failed to pay back their loans. But it raised its dividend to 34 cents from 31 cents – at a time when many other financial institutions are slashing theirs to preserve capital.</blockquote>
Very foolhardy now that Wells has been forced to <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10468327/1/_msnh/wells-fargo-slashes-dividend-to-5-cents.html?cm_ven=MSNH&#38;cm_cat=FREE&#38;cm_ite=NA">cut its dividend to 5 cents</a> even after receiving $25 billion from the federal government.  So, I am re-posting this story as a reminder of what lies ahead.
