Abigail with attitude: Bashful Brian grows into top job at BAML

Is Bank of America on an upward trajectory? Am I the only person to notice that Bank of America’s economists were a lone voice insisting that the Federal Reserve would not taper in September? Nice call BAML!

Moreover, BAML will be one of the bookrunners for the Twitter flotation. The firm played a bigger role in the Verizon deal, where it acted as an underwriter for the financing package. BAML also had a top-line position in the public-to-private deal for Dell, while in Europe the bank underwrote the £3.2 billion institutional placement of part of the UK government’s stake in Lloyds Bank.

I was thus not surprised to see Brian Moynihan, the chief executive of Bank of America, purring like the proverbial Cheshire cat, as he gave a joint interview to CNBC with the Sage of Omaha, Warren Buffett.
