Anyone enthusiastic about...

[hundredwaters]

...picking up the BAC common at this price?

[racemize]

I've bought at 8 before, but I'm building cash at the moment.

[moore_capital54]

We are adding, I can't believe it's down here again...

[actuary]

Adding again as well... as is Mr. Powell

Hopefully Parsad weighs in as well - I am curious as to his thoughts given the variety of rumblings...

[ourkid8]

I just sold out of FTR and used the cash to add to my BAC position.  I will continue selling out of my lower quality holdings while adding to BAC as it declines. (Sandridge is also very tempting as well)  I am trying to moving up the quality scale. As Parsad has mentioned numerous times, this should hit TBV by end of the year. 

[PLynchJr]

Also adding.

[keerthiprasad]

Adding more.  Just running low on cash.  Already picked up a considerable amount in the past.

I'm actually getting excited about AIG as well.  More CDO sales coming, fast and furious:

I think BAC will fall further when the broader market starts pricing in recession risk. 

 

My confidence in going against the ECRI call is in rapid decline and I'm buying market puts.

You shouldn't take into account the opinion of such charlatans - they have no idea what they're talking about.

I'm not taking their opinions into account.

 

I'm taking this data into account:

Next, I'm saying that (based on that data), I'm losing confidence in going against the ECRI's call.

I've been adding to BAC AIG and C. I am out of cash. Fully invested. It had to happen sometime.

Join the party.  We doubled down on our puts early yesterday.

[bmichaud]

Pretty low-volume down day for BAC at around 180mm shares. Encouraging IMO.

Thanks for the link to the report

Forget about those recession forecasts, the fact is no one knows. Some of these banks can return capital and buy back even under Fed's stress test scenarios. The market could go lower but it may not :)

 

 

 

 

[ERICOPOLY]

I agree it's time to buy more BAC.

 

[ourkid8]

Yup, I am surprised it is at $7.75/share after everything management has done to build a fortress balancesheet.  Can it fall further, of course but no one knows and who cares. It is selling at a 70% discount to TBV; unbelivable!!!

$7.48 in after hours, how low can BAC go before you start backing up the truck?

[actuary]

Powell continues to purchase shares. 12,000 more Monday at $7.36

[DCG]

Added to my BAC position this morning.

[ERICOPOLY]

JPM traded down to $28 last year despite there being no rumors about it needing to raise capital. 

 

BAC traded down to $5 last year in the face of noisy capital concerns.  Without those concerns, maybe it would have hit $7 and no further down?

 

BAC at $7 now without capital concerns.  JPM needs to go down another 20% to hit it's 2011 Euro-crisis low.

 

This is why I think BAC's volume has come down lately.
