Investment banking income was up 22% from the previous year's third quarter to $474 million. Revenue in capital markets and advisory services was hurt by $952 million in CDO-related charges, $327 million in leveraged loan and commercial mortgage writedowns and $190 million in losses on a commitment to buy back auction-rate securities from clients.
The company added almost $2 billion to the allowance for loan and lease losses during the quarter, mainly for consumer loans, including the unsecured consumer lending, credit-card and residential mortgage portfolios. Nonperforming assets were $13.36 billion or 1.42% of total loans, leases and foreclosed properties, compared with $9.75 billion, or 1.13%, at June 30 and $3.37 billion, or 0.43%, in the 2007 third quarter. Shares of Bank of America fell 6.6% in regular trading to $32.22 and lost another 7.6% in the after-hours market. Nobody ever made a dime by panicking, says Jim Cramer.
