As always the names indicated in green are stocks we hold, so it seems we believe they can. The average price-earnings ratio for Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup is just 10.3, less than half the S & P 500 overall. Upside with limited risk Notice that the earnings related implied move in the table indicates modest volatility expectations around earnings. Bank of America took on more duration risk than competitors, and consequently its assets took more of a hit as interest rates rose. BEFORE MAKING ANY FINANCIAL DECISIONS, YOU SHOULD STRONGLY CONSIDER SEEKING ADVICE FROM YOUR OWN FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVISOR.

NEW YORK (AP) — Citigroup intentionally discriminated against Armenian Americans when they applied for credit cards, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Wednesday. The bureau said some bank employees argued internally that Armenian Americans were more likely to commit fraud and referred to applicants as “bad guys” or as affiliated with organized crime. As part of the order, Citi will pay $24.5 million in fines as well as $1.4 million in remedies to impacted customers. However, in the bureau's order, these Citi employees used identifiable information that broadly discriminated against Armenian Americans in general. The bank has been fined or cited several times by the CFPB, as well as by the Federal Reserve, for unsound business practices.
