VeriFone Earnings Fall Short of Expectations and 3 Heavily Traded Shares Sparking Chatter

Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC):  Current price $11.47

Bank of America’s Chief Executive officer, Brian Moynihan, was awarded a 73 percent pay increase in 2012 when the institution resolved crisis-era lawsuits and their stock was one of the sector’s top performers. The $12.1 million pay package likely means that Moynihan was one of the best paid CEO’s on Wall Street in 2012, thanks in part to compensation cuts for rivals. Moynihan’s base salary for 2013 also is due to rise by more than 55 percent, a person familiar with the situation said.
