    Bank of America drops

    Last Updated: October 22, 2007 14:34

    Profits down 32 percent for quarter

    CHARLOTTE, N.C. Bank of America Corp.’s plunging profits shocked Wall Street yesterday and prompted a clearly frustrated Chief Executive Kenneth Lewis to hint that an exit from investment banking was possible at the nation’s second largest bank.

    As the last of the nation’s top three banks to report results this week, Bank of America’s news suggests that the problems in the credit market may yet be closer to the beginning than an end. But while Lewis blamed some of his bank’s problems on those market conditions, he admitted his traders also made plenty of mistakes.
