Who Wants To Put Their Guarantee On Bank Of America's Box?

Earlier today on CBNC, Jim Cramer pitched an idea that he thinks could end Bank of America's problems: beg a billionaire to vouch for you. Just like Goldman Sachs got Warren Buffett and Citi has Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, Bank of America needs someone to get out there and say to the markets, "It's okay, these guys are cool." Personally, Cramer likes the idea of Carlos Slim, telling his colleagues "You know we forget he's the world's richest man...if the guy wants to make a statement that says America is the place to invest, hey, Bank of America...would that not be an interesting match?" Having said that, Slim may not be into the idea and backups should be considered. The following represents a very rough short list of people, whether they be billionaires or individuals who simply inspire confidence either through charm or fear with whom we think Brian Moynihan should consider taking a lunch.

* Bruce Wayne
* John Paulson
* The Formula 1 racing heiress who bought Candy Spelling's house
* George Soros
* Lynn Tilton
* Oprah
* Warren Buffett (no one said anything to him about not being allowed to have a piece on the side)
* Justin Bieber
* The Karate Kid
* Mark Wahlberg
* Jame Gumb ("It buys BAC or it gets the hose again. Yes, it will, Precious, won't it?")
* Ken Lewis

If you've got better ideas for the Go To Bat For BAC campaign, please nominate them at this time.

Bank Of America Hoping To Fire Thousands Of Employees In Record Time

Remember Project New BAC, i.e. Bank of America's plan to transform itself from Ken Lewis's house of fun, where everyone went home happy but the concept of making money was less of a focus than keeping the good times coming, to an institution that did things like post profits? The bank has said previously that PNBAC "will result in $8 billion in annual savings by 2015—$5 billion from the first phase and $3 billion from a second phase" and while it stands by those figures and remains committed to cutting as many employees as it takes, some people would like them to be a bit snappier about it. Bank of America is accelerating a broad cost-cutting plan and has set a target of shedding 16,000 jobs by year's end—cuts that would see the company relinquish its title as U.S. banking's largest employer. The proposed year-end total of 260,000 would be the lowest count since 2008 and likely give Bank of America a smaller workforce than JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, or Wells Fargo...Chief Executive Brian Moynihan is trying to speed the company's transformation into a smaller and more efficient operation as he tries to persuade investors that expenses can be adjusted to compensate for revenue lost to new regulations, an uneven economy and shaky markets. Since becoming CEO in 2010, he has shifted away from a nationwide expansion strategy embraced by his predecessors Hugh L. McColl Jr. and Kenneth D. Lewis, and shed many of the businesses that he considers to be nonessential...Hitting the new staffing target would fulfill a year early Mr. Moynihan's pledge to slash the bank's workforce by approximately 30,000. "If they want to make any headway toward improving profitability," said Sterne Agee & Leach Inc. senior banking analyst Todd Hagerman, "they need to accelerate the timeline."
