Stock to Buy #1, May 09, 2009, Bank of America
Take a look at my reasons for purchasing Bank of America stock. Buy now and reap 300 percent return on your investment.
I am putting together a compilation of stocks I would be buying if I had any money to invest right now. Absorb these words, and you WILL reap huge returns in the stock market (outlook is 5-7 years). Today I will be giving you stock #1 to buy and providing reasons for this purchase.
The stock is Bank of America and at this moment in time it is trading around 14 dollars per share.
- Look at 1990, the stock market did relatively the same exact thing, and the next ten years led to some of the greatest advancements in stock market history.
- Stop looking short term, you are saving long term, IGNORE the news and all the people saying the sky is falling, look at the business.
- Banks have been around forever, they are not going anywhere anytime soon.
- Bank of America earned 21 billion in 2006 , 14 billion in 2007, and 2 in 2008. The acquisition of Merrill Lynch will soon provide several billion in income per year. Let’s say that in 5 years Bank of America returns to 2006 level and makes 21 billion a year, and Merrill lynch makes 5 billion. That is 26 billion on the income statement. Currently 6 billion shares are outstanding. Divide 26 billion by 6 billion to get our earnings per share in 5 years. We get roughly around 4.4 earnings per share. Now multiply that by Bank of America’s avg P/e for the past 10 years (12) and we get the price per share- right around 50. If you bought Bank of America today, at 15 dollars a share, and waited 5 years for them to fully recover, you are looking at TRIPLING your money.
- Margin of Safety, Ben Graham and Warren Buffet love this. BAC is selling at a 66 percent discount from its estimated value in 5 years.
