    Tehran, Iran (AP) -- An Iranian commercial plane crashed on Sunday in a foggy, mountainous region of southern Iran, killing all 66 people on board, state media reported.

    New York (AP) -- Four more deaths have been linked to a national food poisoning outbreak blamed on tainted lettuce, bringing the total to five.

    Health officials have tied the E. coli outbreak to romaine lettuce grown in Yuma, Arizona. The growing season there ended six weeks ago, and it's unlikely any tainted lettuce is still in stores or people's homes, given its short shelf life. But there can be a lag in reporting, and reports of illnesses have continued to come in.

    Phoenix (AP) -- The classified advertising site Backpage.com ignored warnings to stop running advertisements promoting prostitution, sometimes involving children, because the lucrative enterprise brought in half a billion dollars, according to an indictment unsealed Monday.

Top Bank Stocks To Buy Right Now: Wells Fargo & Company(WFC)

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Motley Fool Staff]

    As far as positive surprises go, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) was probably the biggest positive surprise. I probably don't have to tell most listeners, Wells Fargo hasn't had the best couple of years, when it comes to their fake accounts scandal, the fallout from that, the other mini scandals along the way, and just recently, their punishment by the same Federal Reserve that says they're not allowed to grow until they improve. They actually got the approval to buy back more than twice the amount of stock that they did last year. One, that says a lot about how well-capitalized they are. Two, it also says a lot that their management's willing to do that, that they think that their stock is at such a compelling bargain right now that they're willing to spend over $25 billion on buybacks alone.

    The dirt at Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) knows no depths. Last week, yet another example of systemic fraud was unearthed.

    From 2017 through early 2018, employees at the Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) fraudulently altered social security numbers, addresses, and dates of birth on thousands of corporate customer documents.

    Financial services hasn't exactly been America's most popular industry in recent years.

    Banks have traditionally obtained 40% of their profits from "fee income," which are those charges for using out-of-network ATMs, for maintaining too low of a monthly balance, or for any of the other fine-print fees you never knew you triggered until it's too late. This is aggravating for retail customers. Consumer lenders are among the most-hated companies in our country, with predatory loans largely responsible for burdening subprime borrowers with excessive debt and for spurring the 2008 economic recession. This makes the public leery of lenders and distrustful of the fine print in the contracts. Even the companies who are considered best-in-class have an unflattering reputation. Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) was once considered one of our nation's most dependable banks. But their recent sales scandal, which opened millions of unauthorized consumer accounts, may have permanently impaired their reputation. And no one has forgotten how Goldman Sachs' (NYSE:GS) traders boasted about ripping the faces off of their clients just to generate profits. It prompted Rolling Stone magazine to famously refer to Goldman as a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity."

    Other large Berkshire holdings have also been market laggards. Big bank Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) just can't keep itself out of trouble, with a new scandal erupting seemingly every other month. Buffett's belief in Wells Fargo, a longtime and major Berkshire position, is admirable. But it's not doing his company many favors. A more recent big-ticket buy, Kraft Heinz, also isn't lighting the investment world on fire.

    So where do you find them? Well, preferred stocks trade just like common shares on one of the major stock exchanges. They are a popular fundraising tool for companies that need capital to grow and expand, but don't want to borrow or issue more common stock. Well-known businesses like Ford Motor (NYSE: F), General Electric (NYSE: GE), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) and T-Mobile (Nasdaq: TMUS) have all issued preferred stock.
