Is $20 billion Enough for Bank of America?

Posted January 16, 2009 by Bernz

bacBank of America (BAC) today reported a loss of $1.79 billion in the fourth quarter and this is not including Merrill Lynch, which it acquired recently. Merrill Lynch lost a record $15.31bn in the quarter. Bank of America financials are supposed to be good until the purchased of Merrill. Additionally, Bank of America today announced that they received another $20 billion capital infusion from the Fed. This is on top of the $25bn the bank received from Tarp funds last October . This confirms that the crisis in the financial/bank sector is not yet over and it looks like everybody thinks that the government will not let these major banks fail.

Bank of America (BAC) stocks down more than 8% this morning.

Now, the question again is, is $20 billion enough and how far more can the Fed go?
