Filed under: Bank of America (BAC) In the past, I've covered Rochdale Securities analyst Dick Bove's inane ramblings about how fantastically awesome Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) CEO Ken Lewis is. Last month he called Mr. Lewis "phenomenally good" and his notes to investors are beginning to have more in common with 12-year old girls' Valentines to Zac Efron than conventional research. But...

Things have been pretty dark for Dick Bové ever since her man, the " brilliant " Ken Lewis was essentially forced out of his job . Other analysts, the colder, unfeeling ones probably wouldn't have taken it so personally, but Lewis is Bové's guy and she can't help it, this hurts, bad (also, she's just always been a sensitive and highly strung person). Sorry if that's too much...

Charlie Gasparino reports that the Bank of America board "really, really" wants to finally pick someone to take the job of boozing it up at happy hour and then returning to the office and saying "How 'bout we do Merrill this time? That'll be fun." According to Gasparino, BAC is in a rush to get it done because they're "sick of all the controversy surrounding the selection"...

We've been to Spring Island, South Carolina before to check out Bank of America chief exec Ken Lewis's getaway home (still on the market and the price keeps dropping ). Today's estate is in the same area and belongs to former Proctor and Gamble executive Tom Laco. The property consists of two separate lots, the 3.48 acre lot the house is on and a 3.13 acre lot directly across the pond from the house...

The luckiest man on earth Here at Dealbreaker, our opinion of Bank of America is pretty clear . The company is a dysfunctional mess and, despite being the biggest bank in the country, can't seem to find anyone interested in taking its top job. Those incorrigible contrarians at Breakingviews have a different take on the Worst Job on Wall Street. There may actually be no better job in finance than the...

What a day for Ken Lewis & Co.! First, one of the savviest hedge fund managers out there gives BofA a big thumbs up (take that, Steve Cohen and Jim Simons ). Next, someone we've actually heard of kinda sorta suggested he might take the Worst Job on Wall Street (BofA is, after all, a public company). Now, the very ratings agency that kneecapped UBS earlier today said it is not quite as pessimistic...

Jamie Dimon would probably make a great cop because he's a badass who doesn't take shit or prisoners from anyone. And I can see Vikram Pandit patrolling the streets on horseback. Ken Lewis obviously how to administer a sobriety test on a possibly drunk driver. Despite protests the contrary, Jimmy Cayne knows his way around a nightstick. Dick Fuld has spent the last year showing up to industry parties...

Bank of America's general counsel was fired on December 10, just a day after he had requested a meeting with higher-ups to discuss Merrill Lynch's growing projected losses. The reason he was fired? Corporate "downsizing," said three BofA officials to a congressional panel yesterday. The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is looking into BofA's purchase of Merrill, as...

We've been saying for a while that John Thain is the ideal candidate to take over Bank of America, as a) he's unemployed and b) he could use his power to equip every men's room with the line of urinal cakes bearing Ken Lewis's mug he's been working on in his spare time. Yesterday at the Reuters Global Finance Summit, JT finally got on board . He didn't specifically name-check the bank no one wants...

Not that the Maryland Democrat is rushing them to make a decision or anything, but he's just curious — who are they going to pick to succeed Ken Lewis? For instance, will it be that chump Brian Moynihan , with whom he tangled at last year's hearing over the Merrill Lynch bonuses ? "Is this the guy we have got to face when we are dealing with Bank of America?” Cummings asked BofA director...

Last year, Oprah Winfrey earned $275 million–more than those three Wall Street rogues Ken Lewis, Dick Fuld and John Thain combined–yet no one is calling for her head. Her TV show and O, her magazine, remain wildly popular. She moves entire industries. Twitter’s traffic surged 43% after she tweeted for the first time. A recommendation from her turns obscure authors and products into best-sellers
