Bank of America Corp (BAC)

[cal_pn]

Stock prices can only reflect the real value of the respective company in the long run and stock prices rise when the value of the company increases (this has been accepted over decades as a general investment strategy illustrated by the success of Warren Buffet who always tried to invest in corporate value).

The last couple of years some people made us believe (or even themselves believed) that value can be created by pure speculation, essentially because others will follow and pay for it. The result was that few got rich but many more ended (or will end soon) in the dust. You can not seriously run an economy on such principles. This is what needs to be fixed now.

BAC will rise again when people realize that buying this stock means buying future value (cash flows and profits not only artifical stock price fluctuation)

The only essential difference between stocktrading and gambling is that stocks are traded for future value, not for pure anticipation of an event happening in the future.
