Bank of America Corp (BAC)

[Democritus_of_Abdera]

One reason that the BAC board is not as active as a penny-stock board is the lesser value of the information posted when one is focused upon stock price movements. It takes a major event to affect BAC stock prices. The news media is a more reliable source than a message board when one is gathering information in an effort to predict such an event. Whereas, a penny-stock is affected by company specific events that the news media generally does not follow. Thus, the only place to find a compendium of information of predictive value for a penny stock's price movement is a message board, even if most of the information is unreliable.

Re: BAC.... If I recall correctly, American Express experimented several years ago with free stock trading but abandoned the idea... Does anyone know why? And, is there any reason to believe that BAC will profit from this initiative when AXP did not?
