Oct 15 (Reuters) - Bank of America ( BAC ) said its
profit rose in the third quarter, as its investment bankers
earned big from advising on mega deals.
The second-largest U.S. bank on Wednesday reported a net
income of $8.5 billion, or $1.06 per share, in the three months
ended September 30. That compares with $6.9 billion, or 81 cents
per share, a year earlier.
