Yup

BAC is doing a 5 bln buyback, should send the stock to 16-18 at least. I got in at 5 and change. Wish I bought more, but at the time this was a high risk trade.

Surprised they did not raise the dividend, but with BAC I take what I can get.

too many shares outstanding to do dividends imo better for company to do buybacks

I suppose they intend to reduce the share dilution from a couple years back prior to committing to paying a dividend. I'm happy they're finally doing something to help the stock in a direct fashion.

I generally use index funds for anything where i would otherwise use a mutual fund, with one exception of PIMCO total return. But to be quite honest I continue to question why i own it.

SMLP-- a newish energy MLP created by a very fine private equity shop that has every incentive to make its distributions and share price grow.

You really can't go wrong with any one of the major ones.

Schwab and Fidelity are great.

I ended up at TD Ameritrade after they bought Think or Swim...seems like a nice enough place.

Just choose the relatively name-brand firm that has the best fee structure or funding restrictions/bonuses for your expected activity. May be nice to consider which mutual funds/ETFs they let you trade for free.

Fidelity offers one of the best cash back credit cards in the industry (2% on everything).
