Jim Cramer on Wells Fargo: “That’s a Winner”

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer looked at recently. Cramer was bullish on the stock during the episode, as he remarked:

But the other mind says you can’t jump in front of a speeding freight train. Far better to just own the stocks of companies with big software spending that can presumably save fortunes. Public companies that can… Wells Fargo, they just hired a technologist from Amazon Web Services to help the bankers find the hidden savings. That’s a winner.

I’m thinking of businesses that implement the technology to enhance their efficiency. That’s going to be the banks. The banks don’t talk much about it. The one that I think has the best handle on it is Wells Fargo. It’s a big reason why we own it for our Charitable Trust. WFC is the stock for you.
