Insiders Buying

Are 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.
