Insiders Buying
Karen on Feb 5, 2009 04:05 PMAre you kidding me? How does Ken Lewis and his honchos buying up cheap stock instill confidence in BofA? With the number of shares they already own, buying 10,000-200,000 is a spit in the bucket and only helps themselves average their loses. Ken Lewis, give shareholders a break and step aside. There is plenty of "retired early from BofA" execs that would love to step up to the task of cleaning up Lewis' failed management.
