From a fawning cover story on Bank of America in the October 2007 edition of Forbes magazine:
Aside from ill-advised dealings like issuing WorldCom debt and late-trading shenanigans with the bank's Columbia mutual funds, he {the company CEO} has deftly avoided trouble. Subprime woes? BofA presciently got out of these risky mortgages years ago, sensing they'd blow up some day.
From a Forbes story dated yesterday:
Both Bank of America and Wachovia reported abysmal fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday with Bank of America’s earnings tumbling 95% and Wachovia’s profits plummeting 98%.
