About Bank of America (BAC)
Bank of America is one of the largest banks in the United States, active in consumer and commercial banking, wealth management (through Merrill) and investment banking. Much of its profit comes from the gap between the interest it charges on loans and what it pays on deposits, so it benefits when interest rates are higher.
It trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker BAC and is part of the S&P 500 and Dow Jones indices. It is a dividend stock and one of the largest holdings of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. As a bank, it is sensitive to the economic cycle and to bad loans.
