Buffett sunk a hunk of change in it ... and GE... and Harley... the former gets TARP and the latter stimulus.

Be careful when following Buffett.

He owns Wells Fargo common stock both personally and with Berkshire Hathaway.

The GE and Harley investments were made by Berkshire Hathaway. 10% preferred stock in GE and 15% bonds in Harley - neither issue is publicly traded.

An individual investor could follow his lead with Wells Fargo common stock, but can’t duplicate what he did with GE preferred and Harley Davidson bonds.
