Too bad about Saab - although they say the alternative was a recent acquisition potential by China... I think it was time to put the old glorious, but sick, lion out of its misery unfortunately.

I got it at 4.15 back then - sold at 12. Nice gain then.
Currently no bailout coming and BAC isn't considered "too big to fail" this time around. The regionals seem better off to me.

Maybe in intraday, but it's never closed below 3.14 (week of Mar. 2, 2009)

Just because it's $5 doesn't mean you can't lose 100% on it-
As a professional that has done this for 22 years I would not touch BAC at this or any price. From our research it could easily trade in the $2.5-3.5 range for many years. Always buy the best stock in any sector, that would be Wells Fargo or play all of the financials with the ETF "XLF" |

You know the Basel III liquidity ratios impact, and the private placement rules B-H put in their deal to buy the 50K ... BAC must float more shares this week or be in out of compliance with them.

If you're buying short term stay out of the game and if you're buying long this is the time to do it.
that is only my opinion

I made a bunch of money last year on Bank of America. Stock tripled from what I paid for it.

bofa looks enticing due to current prices based technically on it's 5yr chart. there are many banks that are in the same technical range. if someone is looking to get in on a bank stock, i would take a look at the XLF or banks with a low p/e; meaning that they are making money. perhaps a Goldman hitting near a 52 week low. just my 2 cents. no pun intended. cheers guys.

I dumped BofA a few years back, both their stock and my business accounts. They have really lost sight of their customers IMHO.
If you can make some $$$ on the stock, more power to you. They've got a lot of work to do to be successful again.

I just picked up some BAC.
If you see me posting pics of a new DayDate, you'll know I made some coin! |

I got it under $3 in 2009. Not risking it again.

The market (at the moment) has valued it at $5, there's reasons why. You can either take a chance and buy, or stay away.
I have been burned by so called bargains in the past, but have also made a few $ in the past. My call right now - stay away from BofA. |

B of A is a gamble, not an investment. If you can't get to Vegas or an Indian casino B of A is a viable alternative.

Like replica watches, it is a "replica equity". No technical definition for that description - if they sell some assets (likely soon) and get out of the bad loans unscathed (less likely) - then they will be liquid. Otherwise it will be a bankruptcy soon i fear. The ratios and lack of confidence among experts is a tell.

I bought Citi at $3.15 about two years ago. Still waiting.

We doubled on C in 2009, and almost tripled on BAC, too. But they were admittedly gambles then and even more so now. Never put more than 5% of cash into them - it worked out then.
