While it posted a total loss of 12%, it was up in March and most positions seem fairly stable. The trouble caused by bad reports by Well Point and Humana cast a pall on my view of Aetna and I decided to move from this position to Bank of America and hunker down for the potential recession and general market slowdown. Bank of America was trading near its 52-week low, but had just bounced up in what looks to be a potential double bottom. In addition to this cursory chart analysis, I was enamored with the 6% dividend yield the stock is projecting and the potential for growth built in through the purchase of Countrywide and securing a market leading position in home lending. While this isn’t popular now, as the market turns back in the next year or two, Bank of America looks well positioned to lead the charge. For a more in depth analysis, check out my post on the trade.
