But, he said, the ratio does not take into account the benefits of the Wachovia merger, or recent moves to reduce risk.He said the bank's capital is "very strong," adding that "TCE is a flawed measure of capital adequacy."Wells Fargo said $35.5 billion of Wachovia's remaining $93.2 billion of option ARMs are "credit impaired" and were marked down by 41 percent. The remaining $57.7 billion "has dramatically better credit performance," Atkins said.(Reporting by Jonathan Stempel; Additional reporting by Leah Schnurr in New York, and John Poirier and Karey Wutkowski in Washington, D.C.; editing by John Wallace and Jeffrey Benkoe) Hot Stocks Crisis in Credit.
