For a long, long time now, investors have been waiting for the day when credit-rating agencies cut their ratings on the big banks due to the possibility that they might get less support from the US government. That day has come.
Moody's has downgraded Bank of America's long-term credit rating two notches to "Baa1" from "A2" and its short-term rating to P-2 from P-1.
Baa1 is equivalent to BBB in other rating scales, which is just about the average credit rating for corporate bonds.

Citigroup, Inc. (C) has been about flat the past week, but The Wall Street Journal is reporting that famous hedge fund manager John Paulson is still a fan of this stock. In fact, he likes banks overall right now, including Bank of America (BAC). Interestingly, banks like Citigroup have been reporting strong earnings lately, mostly because they’re simply letting go of some of their loan loss reserves. This has caused FDIC chairman Martin J. Gruenberg to note that banks will eventually need to start lending again in order to keep turning a profit.

Citigroup has also made headlines for the record numbers it is posting in the area of credit card offers. In fact, Citigroup apparently mailed 346 million offers for credit cards this quarter. Important competitors for Citigroup include Bank of America (BAC), HSBC Holdings (HBC), and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). Citigroup falls about in the middle of those companies for measures like price to sales, price to earnings, and price/earnings to growth, although Bank of America is notable for its recent lack of profitability. Gross margin of 20.41% lags behind some peers. As for cash flows, $2.5 million came in during 2010 and $206 million flowed out during the first half of 2011.
