Sorry but they have a fairly significant portion of the blame for being so fragile.
Of course I agree with that. Any business can make bad business decisions that can lose them money, and the ones BoA (and Countrywide before BoA was supposedly strong-armed in to buying them) made were horrendous.

That just further demonstrates that Sixxxxer's contention BoA either makes enough money or has a business model that guarantees profits is silly though.
