Big Banks Profit As M&A Activity Shifts Into High Gear: Bank of America Corp (BAC) and More

Big fees for advising and arranging financing is good for the banks and their investors, and the LBO boom seems to be reinvigorating the leveraged loan market, as well.

Too-big-to-fail banks have never looked better.
