safe! no way in hell it goes under. they sold off part of the credit card business to TD or RBS recently (one of the two) -- therre increaseing capital...slowly but surely

"...the art of good business, is being a good middle man, putting people togeather. It's all about honor and respect."
 

I don't think anybody knows whether they are safe, not even management.

This article explains it all. http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/bomb-might-blow-hole-bank-a…

In summarry... WHAT THE FCUK IS THE TRUE VALUE OF ITS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES!!??!

Nobody can accurately answer that question, so nobody can accurately tell whether BAC is safe.

 

5 billion from Buffett and 8 billion from sales of CCB stock ain't even close to cover up the losses from the crappy Countrywide loans. Somewhere around 50 billion would be necessary. And what of the RMBS, CMBS, CDS linked to them? Unless the housing market starts a dramatic recovery or the Bernank yet again pumps in liquidity into the system via QE3, I don't see BAC recovering. But then again, if BAC gets into serious trouble of course the Fed will bail them out. So yes, BAC is safe, for the near term.
