Capital One looking to aquire BOA?

capital one has purchased all of bank of Americas mortgages....the last time they did that, they restructured those and acquired everything else as well.

i seriously doubt this will happen in the any distant future.

Ignoring any other myriad of things, its not even remotely financially possible. I feel like I'm getting trolled here.

Already aquired all of BOAs mortgages, are they looking to aquire the rest of their holdings as well?

I don't see this happening brah?

I think you are confusing BOA and ING.

Must be. I work closely with them daily and have known about ING for a while. No way in hell they could aquire BOA.

The ING deal was announced like 6 months ago.

The mortgages deal is done.

Which mortgages?

Yeah that stuff usually isn't kept secret very well at all. There were rumors about it for several months before that given COF's expansionary stance and ING's continued dismantlement, it seemed that they were just waiting for conditions to improve before announcing it in hopes of gaining the necessary regulatory approval (which didn't really work given that its still dragging along).

I hope the insanity of suggesting that COF buy or bought either 1) all of "the mortgages" of BOA or 2) buying BOA itself is not lost on any one else. Where are JT, Russian, and tirebiter?

Still popcorning over here. Can't wait to hear about the largest financial transaction in modern history, huge MB scoop.
