  • Why would you award anyone for unacceptable performance??? Especially CEO Moynihan--if anything the board should show him the door.

  • His performance has been spectacular. He deserves $20 million a year. BAC is now the best capitalized bank in the U.S.

  • I love Moynihan. I don't care that he mixes up his words a bit when he is nervous; I think he does that because he cares about what he says and wants to qualify everything but he knows he doesn't have the time to do so. He is my favorite CEO.

  • I am with you on that !! 60% on my dividend still won't cut it but it beats a sharp stick in the eye!!!

  • If the dividend is 1 cent a quarter you are suggesting it be raised by 6/10 of a penny???

  • What is wrong with you people? Are you the ones that just bought in and look at $6 to $12? His reward should only be in stock bonuses "IF" he gets the stock back at levels it used to be at so the rest of us get our retirement back too!

  • I appreciate Moynihan's performance and now it would be nice to see BAC (Moynihan) return some of its excess cash to loyal investors who have ridden the "roller coaster" up and down these past 6-7 years. Statements about the stock returning to the $20.00 threshold does little for the investor who purchased this stock in the mid-40's years ago, only to watch the company "almost fail".

  • Maybe the owners should get a 60% increase??? The prior CEO should be in jail for buying Merrill Lynch and Countrywide.

  • Nice going Bank of America. where is our piece of the pie?????

    CEO should get salary and bonus after we get a special divident. We have been waiting quite a long time for our investment.

  • I agree.
    Ken Lewis stripped of his GIANT retirement monies.
    Moynihan has done an excellent job. I wish him the best but I could use a few crumbs first!!!

  • You mean he's worth more, or works harder than, say, any two hundred and forty engineers? Yeah, right!

    Try to see what percentage is his salary increase compared to the BAC income. Nothing, nada, zilch. Soon to come the dividend increase and the promised land of $20.
    Good luck.
