Goldman and Bank of America Earnings 

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS - Get Report) put earnings estimates to shame Wednesday morning, and reported a net interest income increase of 10% year-over-year for the quarter, and 28% year-over-year for the full year. This comes even with higher interest rates, which hurts loan demand. 

Goldman Sachs, RealMoney's stock of the day, has a not-so-bad 2019 outlook, as M&A activity looks to be an area of strength for the investment banking giant. 

Bank of America Corp.  (BAC - Get Report) also beat earnings estimates, reporting a 7.3% increase year-over-year in net interest income for the quarter. The same metric rose more than 5% for the full year of 2018.
