Bank of America Stock

BAC broke the $10 resistance for the first time in over a year and closed that day at $10.46. It's at about 10.56 now and I was wondering monkeys think about it. I took losses earlier this year and finally made them back. Also bought some $10 calls the week prior which was a nice profit. Are you selling to lock in the gains or do you think it will continue its climb? Are you planning to buy on a dip? I think any impact Obama or the fiscal cliff could have are already priced in to some degree.

 

Investing based solely off of technical indicators is a sure way to lose all your money. Just saying.

“...all truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” - Schopenhauer
 

Liked it in the low 9s, less so now. I mean it is undervalued on an asset basis, but bank ROEs have not recovered 4 years out and it doesn't look like that is about to change. I think you could definitely see some further gains out of it, but I am not buying.

Then again, I have a bit of a contrarian bias - I could be wrong and it could double in the next year. I am not an expert on banks.

 

Short term indicators all point toward a small rally in BAC.

I loved it (and bought calls) at $7.50 over the summer, dumped at $9.50. Has been fluctuating around this price until it broke through $10. I would say it has $1-2 MAX to run before a retreat starts.

Price to book on BAC is VERY low, and even at $15, BAC is undervalued. But without a resolution to the fiscal cliff issue, BAC's rally will be limited. HOLD.
