Buffett says they're making a lot of money and have strong earnings power, in contrast to a company like Chrysler.
Buffett's bullish statement came in response to a question on whether shareholders should get wiped out when the government steps in.Buffett again singled out Wells Fargo for particular praise, calling it a "fabulous" bank that "will be a lot better off in a couple of years than if none of this had happened."
