Anyone know what preferreds BAC is looking to buy back? Have they released a conversion matrix yet like Citigroup did a cpl years back? It looks like its the BML series of preferreds by market action....
The shares of BAC are going lower and when it does the preferred drive the price down even further. Especially the convertible preferred to which you are probably referring to. In the event of default the preferred gets first payment. BAC wont go out of business but the road ahead is paved with the Blood of BAC executives who will be lynched by the Obama administration for all their wrong doings. Convert the preferred take a quick run from 6- 8 then lower the float and increase the earnings per share by decreasing the #s per share. 50k layoffs coming as well they are fighting for their lives. They are fighting like hell to keep above 6 and they need to keep the price above a certain price to keep it in institutional hands. I believe if you check the Short Interest (Bloomberg- function SI) you will see the short interest go through the roof. It could be 3 by February. BAC is doing some funny accounting especially with the FHA loans. They return partial payments on people who are late then charge fees without applying those payment to the fees and then compound this into the interest payments which is a NO NO--- BAC is going down as The AMERICAN People will want it to be the sacrificial lamb. make money buy puts and watch it fall.
