Bank of America has announced a bigger-than-expected third-quarter loss of just over $1 billion. The total loss for shareholders1 was even larger, almost $2.5 billion dollars Australian, or 28 cents per share, which is five cents worse than expected by most analysts2. Bank of America says its results were negatively impacted by continued weakness in the US and global economies, and stress on the consumer which continues to result in high credit costs. The news along with disappointing results from General Electric's dragged Wall Street down. The Dow lost more than 2/3 of a per cent. The impact was also felt across the Atlantic. London's FTSE closed almost 2/3 of a per cent lower. Profit taking in gold mining shares and weakness in the banking3 sector4 dragged the Australian share market lower on Friday. And at the start of the weekend, the dollar was buying 91 US cents. 

Google has reported its largest profit year to over $1.7 billion. And the company's CEO says the worst of the recession is over. And Rupert Murdoch has told News Corporation shareholders in New York that he has great confidence in the future of newspapers. But he said the past year was one of the most challenging in the company's 56-year history.
