Why did you buy them?
Are you expecting to receive substantial dividends? You may then be disappointed as these dividends will rarely exceed the rate of interest you will get by placing your money in an investment savings account in that bank.
Are you expecting the price to rise considerably over the short, medium or long term?
Do you propose selling them in the short, medium or long term?
Did you buy them at a price you had previously determined as the amount you would be willing to pay?
Have you determined the price at which you intend exiting the stock?
Basically, before investing in the stock market, you should first have a plan. Then you research stocks to determine whether they fit into your criteria according to this plan. If they do then you buy those stocks at the prices your plan determined. You then sell either at the end of the time frame set in your plan or when the price reaches the predetermined high or low according to your plan.
A cardinal rule is that you should never invest money in the stock market that you cannot afford to lose. |

Im gonna say stupid. BofA still doesn't know how many bad assets are on Merrill's books. Clearly Thain was eager to sell so it seems like when that $29/share price offer came up he took it in a heartbeat. To me this would suggest Merrills upper managments knew BofA overpaid for Merrill. So as a short term play I think this was a risky pick, in the long term I think most any financial will pay off when the credit crisis is over (assuming they dont go under!). But there are a lot better investments out there and financials are still to be avoided until this blows over. |

Stupid!
If you think it will go up in a few days. If you have at least three years time horizon VERY VERY SMART.
We're in serious trouble with the dollar. Don't forget BofA has ties to JP Morgan, debt from Countrywide, MBA debt bought last year and not Merrill Lynch... The Merrill deal makes BofA a monopoly and SHOULDN'T even bee leagl. But, because of the economy WATCH the crooked powers that be allow it.
This is part of the reason we're in this position.
But, GOOD luck. |

Neither stupid nor smart but more likely early. The acquiring firm in a merger often underperforms for some time as analysts sort out the pros and cons and the two companies begin the huge merger process. How well the process goes and how earnings are affected will determine the stock movement. The really big question is regarding the whole financial sector. Lots of risk, lots of opportunity. |

It is really hard to say, the only stocks that have not failed me all year have been the technology stocks....
The BAC stock dropped over 7 points today so again its hard to say if it will be the strong survivor - we need to get the Mad Money guys advice on this! |

Most of the time an acquiring company's stock goes down for a time after an acquisition/merger are announced. BoA will experience that. However, I don't believe the market is going to go dramatically lower and I do believe that BoA's purchase of CFC is going to turn into a money mill as Freddie and Fannie force business their way. Demand won't be high in the short time, but as Lewis said today, in a year - 18 months time frame they are likely to be in a dominant market position with a broader offering to customers, and the "lead dog" in the pack.
Note to "hmmmmmmm": Be glad you did, they're likely worthless now - whether preferred or not. |

For people like u , that bought stock for a short period of time, hoping to make a quick profit, the market is like it is today. The best advice when buying stocks is for the long run, that way you are never wrong when buying stocks, just look at Warren Buffet. My advice is read Peter Lynch books. |

Well, I don't know what price you bought it at, but I would have to say that it was a stupid move.
Been losing money all day with it huh?
BAC bottomed out at $18.00 on July 15th, 2008 that's when you should have bought into it.
It closed last friday at just shy of $33.70 Opened today at $28.23 with a steady decline all day and closed at $26.55
Better stop smoking the hopeium pipe, it still has plenty of room to plummet all the way back down to $18.00 before it hits solid support.
Start studying up on your technical analysis. It's been being squeezed by an asymmetrical triangle for the past ten days, that's what caused it to gap down this morning, but doesn't necessarily mean it will go back up anytime soon. |

But with the prices low now is the time to buy. |
