Subject: B of A Candidates Support Breaking Up Operation article from 24-7 Wall Street....
It does not say much for the future of plans to rebuild Bank of
America (BAC) that major candidates for the CEO position question the
board's strategy for running the firm. Many of the bank's board
members were brought in by the government, so the Treasury
Department's thinking about turning B of A around is being indirectly
questioned as well.

The Wall Street Journal has discovered that two of the top candidates
to run B of A believe that the firm should be broken into pieces. The
paper reports, "The CEO candidates who have questioned the size and
scope of the financial empire built by Mr. Lewis and his predecessors
include Michael O'Neill, a Citigroup Inc. director and former chief
executive of Bank of Hawaii Corp."

The idea of tearing apart B of A makes a certain amount of sense. It
has bought businesses as disparate as mortgage lender Countrywide and
brokerage firm Merrill Lynch over the last two years, and it is fair
to question whether either deal worked well -- especially in the case
of Merrill.

Bank of America, like many of the "financial supermarkets" created
over the last decade, has personal finance businesses that run from
checking to auto and home loans. It also provides loans and other
financial services to small and large businesses. It has an investment
bank and an institutional money management unit. One argument analysts
have made about the largest financial firms is that the value of some
of their most important assets is "hidden" by being rolled up in a
pool of disparate businesses.

Predictably, many analysts also believe that running a financial firm
that is in dozens of businesses in scores of countries around the
world is too great a challenge for any executive team. There are
simply too many moving parts, and some of them are in risky market
segments that require constant monitoring.

The board may not break up Bank of America, which could make the next
CEO's job almost impossible.

That article assumes that those candidates are right -- another way to
read that is that the job is out of their league -- they don't have
the skills or the guts to run a big financial empire, only a smaller,
easier operation, like a Regions.

The best thing they could do is just keep Lewis in the job.

Its a good guess, but then if it breaks up and they lose countrywide
that means that there loses will gradually get better...

The price before they had bought Merril is something to think about!

This bank will be trading somewhere in the $22-25 by next March if the
economy continues... and the dollar continues its trend.

Those were just suggestions from job candidates -- nothing more. They
were picked up by news people as a way to drum up attention and make a
quick buck.

I can assure you that job candidates often have suggestions, but
rarely any good (because they don't yet fully understand and have a
"feel" for the business) and even more rarely adopted in any form at
all.

I used to interview job candidates, and they sometimes had radical
ideas -- just part of the process.

But over-ambitious reporters found that out, and hustled it into a
story for a quick score. Much ado about nothing.
