Quote from myoffices:
The new market stability combined with the reduction in writedowns will make this a strong play. My Countrywide mortgage is serviced by BAC and when they refinance the client base and 1099C the defaulters then their earnings should go through the roof. Not to mention evertime the MER launches a new Fund or security they are getting major fees they never had before.
The MER investment will become their shining jewel. It should triple their book value once the toxic assets are gone. MER and CFC are crown jewels and BAC may be a winner of the ages. Any mutual fund who is worth anything will place this in their portfolio. 12-18 months I see a target of 20-30.
