B_of_a_logo_3Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) was already trading as though the options traders were placing a bet today “against nationalization” and now we are getting more news from the company.  SEC filings are showing that key company insiders are buying up stock now that the shares are trading below $5.00.

Temple Sloan, Jr., Director

275,757 direct shares owned although an options “V” may make this 230,757 shares directly owned.

By the way, if you make these guys take a $500,000.00 salary, they won’t be able to buy stock directly again.
