Bank of America Corp (BAC), Wells Fargo & Co (WFC): Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI)’s Best Yet to Come?

While Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) continues to try to repair some new damage to its mortgage-related reputation, both JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) and Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC) are well situated to jump on new business. Combined, the two banks accounted for nearly 39% of the new mortgage business in 2012. Much like the history that points to a continued climb for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) in the second half of the year, if history repeats itself for the banks, they are in the prime position to cash in on the continued housing recovery before the close of 2013.
