Review Of Last Week’s Pick Of The Week

The share price of Bank of America (BAC) dipped slightly below $33 as planned before rising 3.2%.

Though Bank of America’s share price experienced increased volatility last week alongside the S&P 500, it has risen by 3% compared to a decline of 0.3% in the S&P 500.

Its shares continue to shine, outperforming the overall US stock market.

Therefore, you may consider holding onto the shares of Bank of America for a while longer, possibly taking profit at ~$35.50 for a 7% profit in mere weeks.
