BAC

brucekeller

I bought $15k worth of calls at SPX \~670 and they were calls on mostly banking stuff, C, BAC, FAS etc. I sold 2 days later for a meager profit. The calls were 2 months out. A lot of those stocks tripled or quadrupled in 2 months. I try not to think about how much money that would have turned into... options were also a lot cheaper back then. Easily $1m play I think. :\\

That’s like having C, BAC, LEH, WM as your entire portfolio during the Financial Crisis. Full disclosure I’m an ORCL bag holder but at $136 entry lol.

Glad I was bullish on BAC in May. Just needs to stay high and generate bags from the dividends.

Do this long enough to know that this has probably never happened... seeing $JPM , $WFC , $BAC , $C , $GS all report earnings this morning

$ORCL it was $1 Trillion, 6 months back. Even this price was before AI data center push by more GPU demand spike. Same for $MSFT 555 to 390. Life without internet Life without smartphones Life without AI, impossible $GOOG $AMZN $META $NVDA $MU $BAC $WFC $JPM all adopt AI.

fartificial_degen

what I meant is that I expect BAC, CITI, GS, WFC, JPM stocks to be down by 2-5% before Friday regardless of how the earnings go. oh and HSBC.

itsnotshade

Surprised you didn’t go for BAC. They’re probably the only ones not mixed up in private credit, which is pretty much a ticking time bomb considering where rates are headed (flat) as refinancing comes due. I’m always big on banks leading up to earnings but they seem to be lousy during the actual calls, despite them always posting winning numbers every time.

This week earnings: Bank of America (BAC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM): Both report before the market opens on July 14. Tuesday, July 14, 2026: Aehr Test Systems (AEHR) July 15, 2026: ASML Holding (ASML)  July 16, 2026: Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) 

ImpressionAny1078

if you're thinking about selling puts or covered calls on any of the big banks right now, just remember earnings are right around the corner for JPM, BAC, GS etc. the premium is bloated for a reason. not saying don't trade it, but size down or go shorter duration so you're not holding through the print if it goes sideways.

I wasn't paying attention to MU this year, so I missed the opportunity. Now I'm hoping it drops further so I can build a position—then, of course, I'd like to see it recover. I'm not rooting for anyone to lose money. Over the past five weeks I've sold a lot of positions using stop limits to protect my gains. You can't time the market, but at this stage I'd rather lock in profits than risk giving them back. Ironically, everything I sold (META, MSFT, GOOG—all in my IRA) has continued higher. You can't complain about gains... but I still do. 😂 I now have more cash than ever parked in SWVXX, and I'm trying to figure out when to deploy it. I don't want to miss a major rally, but I also don't want to buy before a bigger pullback. I get that If everyone knew the answer, we'd all be rich, so I'm doing as much research as I can. I even considered buying 1,000 shares of MU, but that's a big allocation and gives me pause. How much lower do you think MU could realistically go? Congrats to everyone who bought at lower prices. My biggest investing win was BAC—I bought around $5, sold at $41 after about 12 years, reinvested the dividends along the way, and turned a $100K investment into roughly an $800K gain.

Some people have such jacked digestive systems that they actually make their own booze in their gut and get drunk. One person was found with a legally drunk BAC but monitored like 24 hours beforehand to prove they weren't drinking in secret and whatnot. I think they are usually fatties.

Show me the monumental data that retail is mass buying CLOs and that it means it’s the end-all for them. You say they are mainly bought by institutional investors (which they are), but then say the buyers are retail investors in the TLDR, presumably meaning they are the bag holders. As far as I’m aware CLO ETFs are a retail buyers only prominent access. BAC isn’t slinging CLOs directly to your neighbor and uncle. If this implodes, the market as a whole will just respond negatively and affect everyone regardless. I don’t think retail has any weight in the private credit narrative. I wouldn’t be surprised if this recent push for privates into mass retirement funds like target dates is to preemptively stop some type of bleeding and they can get more inflows to do shady shit with and cushion their regarded choices or cash grab fees.

BAC generational run since the beginning of June. Correctly being bearish on AI and microchips pays off.

Banks like Citi Group (C), BAC only made it back recently (nominally). Utilities like EXC or PCG. If you adjusted for inflation, there would be more. I'm not an encyclopaedia. Try Google.

BAC going up, just like mine with champagne after buying in below 50.

Base-Case2169

Personally, I opened a large options straddle in BAC expecting a vol spike in either direction. I'm not sure how the market is going to interpret the FOMC remarks, but any deviation from the current rate regime will likely have an outsized impact on the yield curve. As a result, I expect to see that volatility manifest in a material move in the US banking sector. Currently waiting as this market remains relatively calm in the run up to the new fed chair statement.

BAC has been going on a tear the last two weeks. I guess dooming retail investors and buying up options pays off.

You mean VOO. VT is getting SPCX allocation immediately. S&P500 will wait until it can meet the 1 year profitability requirement. At earliest summer 2027. Meanwhile VOO is heavily concentrated in GOOG/GOOGL/BRK/BAC. GOOG/BAC who bought into SPCX at a way lower price pre-pandemic. BRK who has shares in GOOG/BAC. Then JPM/BLK/GS/MS who will make money off the SPCX ipo. The real winners are those dumping the bags or making money as the middle men.

I'm not going to say he's right all the time but folks think he's still a bear when he's not? Dude used to be a hedge fund guy so he'd be short or neutral. Hedge funds aren't designed with the goal to beat the S&P500 or whatever benchmark. They are designed so rich folks can under perform the S&P500 but sleep better knowing if shit happened they'd have some insurance policy. During the GFC many of those hedge funds didn't pan out. Michael Burry's did. Then MB close his hedge fund and opened Scion capital. It's mostly personally owned so he didn't have to deal with investors or whatever. It's NOT a hedge fund so he's been mostly long but he's still a hedgefund/contrarian guy so he'll opportunistically short. He's made both right calls and wrong calls. I remember I went long TLT when he was short and Buffet was short/neutral. Dude caught the bottom for the China tech. Also made money with the quick in&out on the TSLA short. Dude isn't like Chanos so he doesn't commit to shorts, but he's also not like Buffet so he'll exit longs quickly too. That's why I don't even try to mirror his plays like I do Buffet who I use as a "Berkshire will do the vetting homework for me" (bought BAC a bit lower than Buffet did in 2020. Also started stacking AXP which has turned out pretty great). Twitter MB however is the worse. He'll say sensationalist shit for personal reasons. Either cause he's off-spectrum or because he wants to manipulate the markets. It's even more worthless than looking at his 13F. Folks should realize by now that free investment advice on the internet is worthless if not worth less than that cause if it's worth 2 cents then they'd have charged you that $0.02.

Investment bankers (let's say at shops such as GS JPM MS BAC etc) work on these deals - and then you've got employees at both FOX and ROKU - I'd be shocked if there weren't leaks - and that's why there always are.

ybl84f1

This might be useful information in certain situations - but in other cases it makes no sense. And where it possibly may make sense its simply supportive data - nothing to trade on absolutely. The claim is that "Air Pockets" are price points that were thinly traded and not many people are invested so there's nothing to "grab on to" if say the price is dropping. The theory is that not a lot of people bought the stock at that price so there's less chance of some transaction to occur (e.g. investor selling on the way down before a loss occurs for example). One issue with this theory is that the volume profile is specific to a time period. The "air gaps" and "point of control" of a volume profile for (say) a single day can be (and almost certainly will be) completely different for a time period of (say) 3 days. That same "air gap" that exists in a 1-day profile likely doesn't exist in a 3-day or 30-day profile. In other words it may have been thinly traded in the (arbitrarily) chosen time period but that doesn't necessarily mean a lot of people don't own it at that price band. And no matter what time frame you use - say 30 days, I can always pick a larger time frame that might cause those bands to be completely different. All the same is true for "Point Of Control" also. *"If you look at the Volume profile on NVDA for the past 30 days on any trading tool, you will find that the the stock spent most of the past 30 days inside this band - POC at 217.89"* True. But if you look at TTM the POC is \~$182; if you look at the last 20 days its \~$213. So which one do you chose? It also would seem to be very dependent on the history of the stock price. The TTM volume profile for NVDA is "absolute" in a sense - it has bounced between $140 and $240 for the first time in its existence for the TTM. However the TTM volume profile of BAC tells you nothing because it's low price of \~$43 in that period also happened in July '98! Any "Air Pocket" in the last day, week, month or year is meaningless as you made have had many investors owning it at that "Air Pocket" price point over the last 28 years. So if the stock has previously - and outside of your arbitrarily chosen time frame - been in the price range before, then volume profile doesn't tell you anything. For stocks unique in the price band for the (arbitrarily chosen) timeframe then it may not be useful because of the most obvious reason: investors sell stocks at all different price points for all different reasons - just because there's an "air pocket" doesn't mean there's less likelihood to sell. People intentionally sell stocks at a loss; people sell winning stocks because they need the money now; computers sell stocks going up or down based on quants that can be at any price; people sell stocks that are rising because they think they've found a different stock that will grow *even faster*! And people sell stocks on the way down (in an air gap) before they suffer a loss. The idea that that an "air gap" in purchase volume results in an "air gap" in selling volume is nonsense - people and algorithms sell their stocks at all prices for an infinite number of reasons...which is why the market is non-deterministic and chaotic. Lastly - the market naturally destroys any trading patterns (especially ones posted in public), because as soon as one develops and is exploited that very act of exploitation destroys it. If sellers expected their price to drop even further through an "air gap" and sell for less than they wanted, well then some would chose not to sell at all or wait, and then prices wouldn't fall through the "air gap" and it would cease to exist.

This. I have my splits being S&P500 being the core and Russell 2000 for high beta. Then I have my stocks. I was offered in on the SpaceX IPO but chose not to participate. Not because it's risky, I hate Elon, or I believed SpaceX will fail. Nah, GOOG/GOOG just make up around 30-40% of my portfolio and that has a 5-8% stake in SPCX. Then I also have stakes in BAC. Plus GOOG/GOOGL/BAC are already in the S&P500 so I also have exposure via my index etf.

Well Nasdaq100 isn't getting nothing for it. SpaceX will list on Nasdaq rather than NYSE. Such an arrangement is to be expected during a Trump admin with a lot business quid-pro-quo already going on in Washington. Some in the ETF/LETF community swear by QQQ/TQQQ saying it's just the "better" version of VOO/SSO/PRO akin to how US investors say VOO is just superior "back tested performance" VT. I always felt I'm getting "enough" returns with the VOO and any extra I need I can get from margin, leverage, and/or options. Either way, not my problem since my CHAD-VOO/SSO/GOOG/GOOGL/BAC will be dumping SpaceX onto QQQ-virgins.

Bank of America (BAC) Tells Investors to ‘Take Profits’ as It Lowers S&P 500 Target

Reasonable_Society74

That's exactly the right test. What the comparison would need to show: if JPM, BAC, and WFC all showed breakdown-level scores in February 2023 alongside SVB, then the signal isn't discriminating - it's just picking up general banking sector stress. If SVB and Signature showed structural deterioration while the large banks stayed stable, that's a different story. Running that comparison — SVB/Signature/First Republic versus JPM/BAC/WFC through early 2023 — is the obvious next test. I'll run it and post the results. If JPM also showed breakdown in that window, I'll say so.

Present-Succotash790

YOLO. Moved a lot recently for BAC

jurassiclarktwo

Price can also be a factor. Any holding with a low price makes it necessary for a lot of shares to trade a high dollar amount. F has a market cap of 70 bn, and is likely in a number of indices. At a price of 17 it takes 6 shares to buy $100. Widely held positions with low prices likely have high volume by number of shares. They may also be popular, I don't know a ton about their prospects, but I remember seeing the same thing about BAC many years ago.

Cool_Ad_5101

Why?  I mean they are the two best. I’m around 52/48 in my ratio of those two and a little cresco for the hope they become one of the winners. I would hate to pick one and the other one runs.  When banks went to shite in 07-08 I bought a lot of BAC and some JPM and WFC. I am glad I did as I did waaay better on JPM and wells than BAC. Diversification even within a sector is a good thing. In hindsight I wish I did a more even distribution of my bank buys but C’est la vie.  Anyway, you do the strategy that works for you and pick the company that you are most comfortable with. I just wanted to point out that diversification isn’t a bad thing 

King_Chron

The fundamental conflict between marketing claims and biological reality forces a sharp divergence in how criminal courts and private corporations view cannabis breath technology. While companies like Cannabix Technologies pitch their devices as a definitive solution for recent use detection, federal and independent research has repeatedly verified that chronic users can harbor baseline THC concentrations in their breath that mimic active, recent intoxication. This lack of data separation creates entirely different sets of legal and functional realities for judges and corporate executives. In criminal law, a positive breath test from a device measuring a single snapshot of Delta9THC is currently scientifically indefensible due to a lack of baseline distinction and clear impairment metrics. Becausen Delta9THC is highly lipophilic (fat-soluble), daily or medical cannabis users continuously slowly bleed stored THC from fatty tissues back into their circulatory system and lung lining. A pilot study published in the [*Journal of Breath Research*](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10201171/) demonstrated that daily cannabis users frequently have active THC present in their breath aerosols despite verified abstinence of 12 to 24 hours. Furthermore, a joint study by the [National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)](https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2023/05/researchers-analyze-thc-breath-cannabis-smokers) and the University of Colorado Boulder confirmed that the quantitative amount of THC found in a regular user's breath *prior* to consuming cannabis on any given day can be virtually identical to the amount found in their breath *an hour after* active consumption. This led federal researchers to conclude in an official report summarized by [*Marijuana Moment*](https://www.marijuanamoment.net/federal-researchers-claim-first-ever-detection-of-cannabinoids-in-human-breath-after-use-of-marijuana-edibles/) that data does "not support the idea that detecting THC in breath as a single measurement could reliably indicate recent cannabis use." Additionally, unlike alcohol's linear relationship with Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC), there is zero scientific consensus linking a specific picogram level of breath THC to motor or cognitive impairment, with a comprehensive review in [*Scientific Reports (Nature)*](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-02137-x) highlighting that no meaningful correlation has been established between impairment and Delta9THC levels in any tested matrix to date. Consequently, a defense attorney can easily introduce reasonable doubt by demonstrating that a positive breath test from a daily user reflects a sober, resting baseline rather than active, recent intoxication at the wheel. Conversely, for private employers managing safety-sensitive jobs like construction, manufacturing, and transport, the technical flaws that ruin a courtroom case are treated as an acceptable risk margin. Employers primarily look to filter out the weekend or occasional consumer, knowing that if an occasional user smokes on a Friday night, their breath clears completely by Saturday morning; a positive test on Monday morning thus provides a reasonable deduction of weekday impairment. While companies accept that this technology unfairly catches chronic or medical users who are not actively impaired, corporate risk management views a "false positive" on a sober but frequent user as a safe compliance buffer. Unlike criminal prosecutors who must prove impairment "beyond a reasonable doubt," employers rely on at-will employment and collective bargaining agreements to enforce internal policies. As outlined in [Cannabix Technologies' own regulatory disclosures](https://cannabixtechnologies.com/site/assets/files/6587/2024_md_a_cannabix_-_final.pdf), companies utilize these tests simply to establish compliance with arbitrary "zero-tolerance" or "clear-headed duty" workplace rules, granting administrative justification to terminate or suspend an employee and shielding the business from workplace liability insurance spikes.

I bought BAC when it was $4.00. Back in 08. I figured it was “too big to fail” and would rebound when the rest of the banks did. I also bough BA years ago at $41 a share. Figured it’s a duopoly. Nowhere to go but up.

I know an accredited investor who has multiple 7figs. They don't have allocations to those either outside of their VOO/SSO/GOOG/BAC/MSFT shares. Easiest way to get exposure is via GOOG/BAC (SpaceX), MSFT/AMZN/NVDA/9984 (OpenAI), and CRM/ZM (Anthropic). Then if you own VOO/SSO/UPRO or QQQs which owns many of these companies then you'll have some indirect exposure to these companies by proxy as well. Alternatively there are a few etfs that let you get exposure by proxy too.

Cav829

Finance has 3 things working against it right now: 1) fear of who is exposed to the private credit ticking timebomb 2) lack of any real moat for FinTech and 3) the fact finance is quite possibly the worst performing sector in any extended bear market. If you bought at the height of the .com era, even a quality bank like JP Morgan didn't return your money for 15 years. If you're going into finance stocks right now IMO, you have to be convinced everyone is very wrong that we're in a late market cycle, or it's just not worth the risk. Just my two cents. Like if you look at Berkshire, they have been dumping their BAC stock pretty heavily. They actually dropped it from their "hold forever" list.

greenpride32

If you look at chart for BAC (not a CBRS IPO underwriter) you will see their chart looks the same. It was just a dip in the financial sector market, followed by a recovery. Also over allotments option is fairly common in any IPO. The underwriters don't keep the shares, they go to IPO particpants/buyers. The underwriters make money from the IPO by taking a percentage of the proceeds. Not every IPO goes up in value even on the first day. But the underwriter still did their work and would get paid in any case. They profit by getting the IPO offering price higher, not the aftermarket.

The way you phrased your question and other comment tells me that Etrade is saving you from yourself. Naked shorting a stock offers a fixed potential return but unlimited potential loss. On something like DAL, BAC, or MO that are very established companies, the likelihood that they go up by 50% in a couple of days is very low. On a penny stock, it's much more likely. When it does happen, if you don't have enough cash or other marginable securities, you'll be subject to a margin call, and the amount could be a lot. When shorting a stock with a higher price, you could short it hoping it drops 5% and still make a decent amount of money. With a penny stock, it might have to lose 50% of its value to get the same dollar per share return. That said, with a penny stock, you could see that kind of swing (in or against your favor) from a Facebook post, which isn't something you'd see on more established stocks. There's also the fact that Etrade has to find shares for you to short. This means they need a customer who has a long position and has signed a lending agreement. Etrade needs to pay them the going interest rate for the stock, which can be 30% or 60% on a penny stock (compared with 2% on something like SPY). You'll be paying that interest. You'll also be responsible for covering any dividends that happen while your short position is open. If Etrade has no customers who are long the shares, the can't let you short them. The reality for most retail traders is that naked shorting is too much risk with too little reward. Unless you have non-public information to trade on, your ability to time a short properly is going to be overshadowed by all of the institutions doing the same. Your best way to bet on a stock going down is to buy puts.

AuthorAdamOConnell

No, for a tech company it's dog shit. Tech companies get higher P/E multiples because you're pricing in rapid growth. It's why BAC makes a $100B in revenue and yet only is priced at a P/E of about 13 - it's YoY is 8%. When you buy shares in BB you're effectively paying over the odds for a typical bank stock, but a really shitty bank with terrible margins which has managed to lose about $1B over the last five years.

lol hilarious commentary. Depends what causes the crash which will dictate whether it will be a V shape or not. And budgets stash isn’t going to bail you out. They will patient wait for very well known companies that over extended themselves and got into trouble to deploy cash too. Could be united health if they crash under 50 bucks. In the 2008 crash buffet bought BAC at around 2 dollars per share and just sold his shares last year from then. He didn’t bail out any of my oil stocks at the time. We are no where near a top. In 1929 just as a comparison the Dow went 6x. We aren’t even at 2.5 times. Just to give perspective. We got a long way to go. As far as Ai is concerned, sure companies are making money. But the real litmus test will be how much when the spending stops. What will the ROI be at that point and if it’s not in line with the expectations for damn near absolute perfection look out! Cause that is what is being priced in here. Beyond perfection. Quarter over quarter over years of absolute no misses everything goes more than perfect. No doubt there will be a crash when the reality hits. No one knows when though.

The indexes were low af so I bought. Now I'm up. If he's shorting oil, I should probably continue to hold. BAC has reflected the exact opposite as oil so that one has been a real winner a long with schwab EFTs.

I think it’s easier to look at stocks or sectors individually as opposed to the market as a whole. Healthcare stocks especially PFE and BMY are like a hummer driving through the snow. They are on bullish tracks and generally they don’t follow the day to day market trend closely. Bank stocks are the opposite. They’re the dogs wagging the market’s tail. BAC and JPM have hit both lower highs and lower lows since they peaked end of 2025. The might continue this way or do a flagpole pattern and shoot back up.

I sold a 51.5 call to someone for BAC that finished in the money. Why do I still have my shares?

You are right but not in the way you think. BAC is the number one bank getting quietly bailed out of their private credit liqudity crisis by the Fed and is the biggest prop job in modern stock market history.

BAC reported good earnings up 1% yesterday. Today giving all back. Most heavily manipulated stock.

A lot of the bigger banks DO have exposure to private credit. I don’t know about BAC but we’ll probly hear some chatter about it from WF and Citi. Or at least some questions even if they won’t fess to it.

Albertsons Puts - Food industry in it’s entirety is sideways J&J Puts - BAC Calls - any bank not impacted by the private credit deal especially GS (I don’t have the $ to buy calls or I would) will see an uptick. Progressive insiders took a massive dump probably bad news coming up Idk 🤷🏻‍♂️ my guess is these will all go opposite of what I jus said 😅

The comparison between alcohol and THC breathalyzers is fundamentally flawed because alcohol has a globally accepted, scientifically linear relationship between breath concentration and brain impairment that has been vetted by decades of independent research. While you are correct that a 0.08 BAC is a legal "per se" limit regardless of how "drunk" a driver feels, that limit exists because thousands of studies from non-biased government bodies have proven that 0.08 consistently degrades motor skills. In contrast, this 2026 study was conducted by the very people who own millions of shares in the company, creating a massive conflict of interest that wouldn't hold up under intense legal scrutiny. We aren't just talking about "feeling" high; we are talking about the fact that no independent body like NIST or the DOT has yet agreed on what level of breath THC actually constitutes a danger to public safety. Furthermore, the "recency" argument falls apart in a courtroom if the technology hasn't been validated by a neutral third party. Even the inventors admit in their own legal disclosures that there is "no assurance" this tech will be accepted as a forensic standard. Unlike an alcohol breathalyzer, which is a finalized tool, this device is still a proprietary product being validated by its own creators to boost stock value. Until an independent lab without a financial stake in the outcome can replicate these results and a legal standard is set by the legislature, detecting "recent use" is just a chemistry experiment, not a "bulletproof" reason for a DUI arrest. Identifying a molecule is easy, but proving that molecule makes a driver a hazard is a leap the scientific community hasn't made yet.

>Every single stock he trimmed => AAPL, AMZN, BAC are all down as of today's date. So what ? Buffet sold almost half of AAPL under 200$. Which has been better performance since then, BRK or AAPL ? LOL

Did the government take a stake in META when it was down 60%? Did the government take a stake in DAL when it was down 50%? Did the government take a stake in NFLX when it was down around 70%? Did the government take a stake in BAC when it was down around 50%? My point is there are always reasons. If you want to buy low and sell high, you gotta do the buy low part.

BAC gotta be 0.4

Funny to see BAC down 11%. My blood alcohol level was way up that day

Just an aside, after the 2008 financial crisis, BAC was at 5 dollars when my dad bought a few hundred. Helped pay for my mom's house.

You might make some money on BAC but it's a ridiculous exaggeration to say currently or anytime in the past this was the best opportunity of all time

If you want a somewhat safe dividen paying stock, sure. BAC probably isn't a bad pick.  But BAC is a relatively conservative finacial institution. They don't attempt to have nearly the same growth as their other competitors. Just look at JPM.  What about BAC's growth plan do you like? Are they entering or expanding into any big new markets or products?  Thinking this is the "Best all time opportunity stocks ever"  is just confusing..

BAC just settled a lawsuit that probably should have cost them more and they seem undervalued compared to the way JPM has gone up… and there is bullish call activity… BAC “probably” isn’t going to have a bank run if something like that regional bank bs happens again… buy under 50 with a stop below 45/46 seems safe enough
