Default Bank Of America Down 29% today

In less than 1 week Bank of America has lost over 50% of its stock value and closed at 5.10 today. I would have never thought it would go this low.

Hope over Fear! When you see news like that, keep in mind that Pres. Obama wants us to not be afraid. Fear not losing your job. Oye. I think I need to start taking prescription meds to have hope in these times.

Well when the government essentially "bailed them out" last week, they were required to agree to hold dividends to $0.01 for three years!!! WTH!! I'd say their stock price will be pretty much irrelevant for some time. Ain't nobody buying that crap.

I don't get it. If you want long term investments, which most stocks should be, anyway, why is now not a good time to buy? The government has sunk a bunch of money into the bank, I can't see it going under.

If people want immediate gratification, they should go to the peep show!

Sell high, buy low, I thought the saying went.

Excellent points, except that we're talking about a bank stock. There are plenty of people who bought Wachovia and Washington Mutual low thinking, hey what a great price, and, well...you know.

You're absolutely right EXCEPT for one small detail. There's quite a spread between buying at $5.00 and $1.00! In other words what makes a 50% decline so important? Why not another 80% drop?

You are right it could go lower.. But thats the nature of stock markets. And BAC is a bit different than Wachovia and WM, WM was crap.. Not too many people can afford to BAC, also Wachovia got $7 a share in the end, not too shabby. Not giving any advice, but it's not all the sky is falling...... ... yet.
