Same here!

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 bought BofA at 3.49 three years ago. I may buy more

It dropped to about 2.50 one day (2009).....I would love to see it in that range again

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

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.

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're not wrong, but I still may buy more.

My wife retired from WFC after 27 years....lucky to have lots of options still and stock left.

Truer words were never said...

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

Dan2010 · 20 December 2011, 09:35 AM

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

esspee1200 · 20 December 2011, 10:21 AM

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.

Darlinboy · 20 December 2011, 11:53 AM

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.

Cato · 20 December 2011, 02:19 PM

I just picked up some BAC.

If you see me posting pics of a new DayDate, you'll know I made some coin!

Ed Rooney · 20 December 2011, 03:25 PM

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

sea-dweller · 21 December 2011, 02:40 PM

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.

hdrazor251 · 21 December 2011, 03:42 PM

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.

Agreed. Just because it is cheap doesn't make it a buy.

77T · 26 December 2011, 05:05 AM

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.

ducatidoc · 26 December 2011, 05:23 AM

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

77T · 26 December 2011, 05:29 AM

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.
