Bank Of America = 6.66

Can we all just fast forward to Tim Geithner making apocalyptic threats if he doesn't get TARP 2 to bail out Bank of America (which in turn will "help" Rick Perry) please?

 A couple weeks ago I suggested to my 89 year old father that he pull his cash (250,000K+) out ofBAC and move it to secure credit union. He talked to my dumb shit older brother who told him I was over reacting (the same dumb shit brother who convinced my father to sell his physical gold which he bought on my recommendation back in 99 ($350/oz) but soon sold it after my dumb shit brother told him to do so (relic and all that) So, instead of having over $1,000,000 worth of physical gold he is now going to loose the rest of the inheretance. Older brothers suck!

I hear you on older brothers.. My father had a patriarchal sense that son #1 should be entitled to the business and opportunity.  I had to go out into the private sector while the idiot that was born first poisoned my father's ear with the same dumb shit you speak of.

BOA bank shares falling is a non-event.

Either the bank will be bailed out, and investors reimbursed.
Or it will go down with all investors on board.

It really boils down to WHO are the dominant shareholders.
If their last names don't start with 'R', then it could go down!

Funny not to see a collapse in the BAC preferred series L which with the common at 6.66 should be trading much lower than $793 (par value $1000).   Equities markets fear a dilution of common stock, but not the elimination of preferred dividends.  This is not as bad as 2008-2009, when BAC-L traded down to below $300 on BK fears.

Im not in equities, but if its anything like the BACORP bonds, its cause the prefs are nowhere near as liquid as the common which trades what, like 500mm ADV. Im sure anyone wanting to make a market in an illiquid share would have moved the b/a wide enough to off-load any particular risk there would be..

maybe the NYT report of federal pressure on NY AG Schneiderman to get with the program and do the right thing is causing folks to gag, just a little. The federal person said something to effect of Wall Street being NY's Main Street (true enough), so be a mensch was the message. But on main street in Democratic ex-Rep. Weiner's district, the Republican opponent is turning off the mike for commenters berating Obama, otherwise it would take all day and the next ones need their turn, too. Oh, and NYT actually printed these comments (link here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/22/nyregion/for-weiner-seat-gop-hopes-for...):

<quote>But it was there that Dale Weiss, a 64-year-old Democrat, approached the Republican running for Congress in a special election and, without provocation, blasted the president for failing to tame runaway federal spending. “We need to cut Medicaid,” she declared, “but he won’t do that.” She shook her head in disgust. “He is a moron.”

 After nodding approvingly for a time, the Republican candidate, Bob Turner, signaled for an assistant to cut off Ms. Weiss. Frustration with Mr. Obama is so widespread, he explained later, that he tries to limit such rants to about 30 seconds, or else they will consume most of his day.“It’s endemic in the district,” Mr. Turner said. “You can’t stop them once they get started.”<quote>

The scam is over, now everyone just hates the banks far more while the people are far worse off. BIG trouble coming soon if they again say 'We need you to sacrifice greatly in order to save the banks'.
