Bank of America – Why a BAC Breakout Happens on Lending Growth

May Motor Vehicle Sales offered fantastic evidence of robust business activity for Bank of America (NYSE: BAC). That fact is not just because the bank does a good deal of auto lending generally, but because it implies banks and BAC are lending more freely now after meeting the Fed’s raised capital requirements. While the interest rate outlook is certainly a support for the banks, this driver of lending activity will serve the top and bottom lines in an important manner. Thus, Bank of America remains of one my favorite long ideas. See the report on BAC here.

Facebook (FB) – Let Flighty Capital Fly & You Sit Tight

By now everyone should be aware of the fact that Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) reported excellent earnings results. But the stock has come off its highs reached ahead of the report nonetheless. That is because its performance, however excellent, was not good enough to keep the scarce capital resources of less patient investors in the stock at its valuation. Long-term holders, patient and willing to achieve a better than 20% annual appreciation rate in this stock will be rewarded, but impatient speculative buyers who took positions into its earnings will seek more prospective pastures through earnings season. I suggest investors let the trading capital run away for now; it’ll return again at higher price levels to support even higher levels later on down the road. See my report on Facebook (FB).
