Bank of America Insider Trading Activities

Some recent studies suggest that insider trading raises the cost of capital for securities issuers and decreases overall economic growth. Trading by specific Bank of America insiders, such as employees or executives, is commonly permitted as long as it does not rely on Bank of America's material information that is not in the public domain. Local jurisdictions usually require such trading to be reported in order to monitor insider transactions. In many U.S. states, trading conducted by corporate officers, key employees, directors, or significant shareholders must be reported to the regulator or publicly disclosed, usually within a few business days of the trade. In these cases Bank of America insiders are required to file a Form 4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when buying or selling shares of their own companies.

Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Bank of America's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Bank of America's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
