Hi Rasputin,

yes, would love to see $10 :)  I hope pain lasts at least all of 2016.

Just out of curiosity, are you hoping the stock would stay down long enough for BAC to do a bigger buyback for this year?  I hope for the same, although given the stress test scenarios doubt if they would be requesting that much a bigger buyback amount relative to last year's.

 

It's such a pain to see the stock at these levels and banks - despite their earnings power - not being able to fully deploy them.

The selling by oil-producing governments globally is hitting financials particularly hard:

Inverse lollapaloozza..

 

I don't buy that explanation because people can sell whatever they hold and trade into the financial stocks.  If they wanted to... that is.

Yea - financials are getting crushed by the flattening yield curve (2s-10s now less than 100 bps) and the potential for massive losses from oil complex defaults/general recession.

 

I don't think the situation is as dire as 2008 was since banks are far better capitalized and use less leverage - but hte problem is that the curve is nowhere near as steep as it was in 2007/2008 so it's going to be hard for banks to earn any NIM in this environment to offset the losses. In late 2008, the 2s-10s was 3x higher than it currently is now.

Marve,

 

It's mostly for selfish reason.  I'm selling the remaining rental properties I have in Phoenix that I bought in 2011.  Told my property manager no lease renewal.  First sale will be in April and the last one will close in November.  I'm hoping I can reinvest those proceeds in BAC.

 

I'm expecting $7-$8 B capital request.  Hitting BAC with $20 B more capital losses vs 2015 DFAST (to account for lower PPNR, higher losses in 2016 scenario vs 2015), BAC will still have about $15 B excess capital.

This is the number one reason I lost interest in BAC. I've seen companies execute enormous buybacks as a percentage of shares outstanding in a very short period of time. I look at the BAC buyback similar to how I would look at taking a vacuum cleaner out onto the beach and trying to materially reduce the quantity of sand on the beach...And every thirty seconds you have to stop and go empty the bag.  Oh and guess what, Warren Buffet gets 700 million shares in a few years so all the buyback so far will not even offset his shares. How lovely.

I increased my position significantly today.

 

Common or...?

 

Common. Warrants are way too expensive for my taste.

 

Stock needs to be above $19.6 for warrants to give better return than common at expiry.  So annualized return in excess of 21% are needed for warrants to outperform common.

Does anyone have an estimation if the short term and long term rate spread keeps at today's level forever, what's BAC's earning power?

Can they at least $1.5 per share?
