BAC Bank of America: Fitch places Bank of America’s Individual Rating on rating watch positive (16.19 -0.09) Fitch placed its ‘D’ Individual ratings for Bank of America and its operating subsidiaries on Rating Watch Positive. Fitch has affirmed the Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) of BAC and its subsidiaries, which are derived from U.S. government support and continue to carry a Stable Rating Outlook. Ratings of long and short-term deposits, long-term and short-term debt, and subordinated debt (with the exception of First Republic Bank are affirmed… BAC’s overall risk profile has begun to improve, with the potential for requiring additional government support or needing to omit dividends on preferred stock beginning to recede. Accordingly, Fitch has upgraded the preferred stock rating of BAC to ‘BB-’ from ‘B.’ At the same time, Fitch has placed all preferred and trust preferred ratings of BAC and its affiliates on Rating Watch Positive. Earnings remain under pressure, as BAC posted a narrow loss to common shareholders in the most recent quarter after noncash and nonrecurring items are factored out. Asset quality problems remain severe, with loan loss provisions remaining high. However, with a recent slower rate of deterioration in problem assets the pace of reserve build has begun to decelerate, which could indicate the potential for a near-term peak in problem assets.

NOTE: Mr. Woodshedder is about to launch his Power Dip System. Check it out.

      • Generational BOTTOM Picker says:

        You don’t see the problems inherent in this “small” number?

        “The notional value of derivatives held by U.S. commercial banks increased $1.5 trillion in the second
        quarter, or 0.7%, to $203.5 trillion.”

    V.King deserves his own blog for the pictures of hot chicks alone. Plus, he’s more interesting to read than JAKEGINT.

    Holy shit, was there ever anyone ever as good as Frank at his peak?

    Whose [sic] Dave?

    “I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that. ”

    That Dave?

    Maybe they get different interwebs out by Jupiter way.

    BTW, Jake please keep up your hammering of the President, and the congress. Just keep it in good taste and respectful of the office. If we only had one side, we would end up like the Soviets did, shopping in empty stores for rotten potatoes.

    Having said that, do you respect wood?

    I don’t care what Fly says, Dean Martin had the voice of an angel. Too bad he was always so drunk.
