Two Banks That Don't Need TARP Funds
JP Morgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC)
The Dow rose as financials rallied on the collective hope that the Treasury’s creation of a bad bank to buy ailing assets will mend the financial crisis.While Cramer has supported the “bad bank” solution, he doesn’t think it is going to be so simple. For instance, will MetLife be able to just dump its commercial real estate holdings or can State Street just send away its asset-backed securities without any conditions? Will the taxpayers have to bear all of the burden? Cramer predicts banks will have to pay a fee before dumping their bad paper. While the Resolution Trust Corp, established to repair the Savings & Loan crisis in the 80s, was effective, Cramer warned that such measures will destroy value of stocks of participating banks. While the best solution is still not obvious, Cramer recommended looking at two banks that do not need TARP money; Wells Fargo and JP Morgan. In fact, Wells Fargo is doing so well, that it refused to take TARP funds until Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson forced it to. Cramer would buy Wells Fargo or JP Morgan on any pullback, since these banks are the least likely to be hurt by government reforms.
