Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) was up almost 1% at $7.66 in the after-hours session on more than 15 million shares in the hour after the close.

Demand Media, Inc. (NYSE: DMD) enjoyed a 7% gain on the day, but it announced after the close that it was extending its advertising relationship with Google and that had shares up almost 17% at $10.50 as many have feared that Google would penalize it for accusations of content farming.

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) managed to perform on earnings growth of 11%, but the studio segment decline on Cars 2 cancelled out the gains of theme parks and TV. Shares were down almost 2% at $34.10 in the after-hours session but that was on the heels of a 5% gain with a strong DJIA on Tuesday.
