Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) made it back above $10.00 today for the first time since August 21 of 2011.  The stock hit a high of $10.10 and the current share price is floating back and forth from $9.99 to $10.00 at the moment.

We recently asked if this stock is now getting overvalued. What is interesting is that this is now almost 10% higher than the $9.08 consensus price target from Thomson Reuters.  It also is starting to make Warren Buffett look like he made a very profitable investment if you include his warrants in the $5 billion investment made by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-B) recently.  BofA has traded in a 52-week range of $4.92 to $14.22.

At the end of the last quarterly earnings report, BofA’s stated book value was $20.09 per share and the tangible book value was now up to $12.95.
