Bonds Are a 'Safe' Investment: A Big Lie Gets Even Bigger
Bank of America Corp.'s (NYSE: BAC) $4 billion acquisition of Countrywide Financial Corp. (NYSE: CFC) isn't sitting well with the mortgage company's biggest shareholder, Legg Mason Capital Management (NYSE: LM)
Legendary money manager Bill Miller, who raised his Legg Mason Value Trust fund's stake in Countrywide to 15% and could buy as much as a 25% interest, said in a letter distributed to the press that he was "quite surprised by the decision to sell the company at close to a seven-year low in the stock price, and agreeing to a bid that amounts to only 30% of book value." Predictably, Bank of America disagrees with Miller. A company spokesman told Bloomberg News that "we believe it is fair for both companies."
