Bank of America Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions
| Bank of America generated a negative expected return over the last 90 days | |
| Verizon Communications has accumulated 140.68 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 2.4, implying the company greatly relies on financing operations through barrowing. Verizon Communications has a current ratio of 0.87, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Bank of America until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Bank of America's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Verizon Communications sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Bank to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Bank of America's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity. | |

Bank of America Greeks
Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Bank of America or Communication Services sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Bank of America's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Bank stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.
