Bank Of America CEO On Buffett's Share Retreat: 'I Don't Know What Exactly He Is Doing ... We Can't Ask'
Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan praised Warren Buffett on Tuesday as an investor in the company, but said he has not asked the legendary investor why he has lowered his position in Bank of America.
美國銀行公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：BAC）首席執行官布萊恩·莫伊尼漢週二稱讚禾倫·巴菲特是該公司的投資者，但表示他沒有問過這位傳奇投資者爲什麼降低在美國銀行的頭寸。
"He has been a great investor for our company, stabilized our company," Moynihan said about Buffett during an investor conference in New York, Reuters reported. "I don't know what exactly he is doing because frankly we can't ask."
路透社報道，莫伊尼漢在紐約的一次投資者會議上談到巴菲特時說：「他一直是我們公司的出色投資者，穩定了我們的公司。」「我不知道他到底在幹什麼，因爲坦率地說，我們不能問。」
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK) the biggest shareholder in BofA, has been reducing its stake in the U.S. bank, making total share sales since mid-July of nearly $7 billion.
巴菲特的伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：BRK）是美國銀行的最大股東，一直在減少其在這家美國銀行的股份，自7月中旬以來，股票銷售總額達到近70億美元。
Berkshire's stake in Bank of America stands at about 11.1%, according to LSEG data.

Moynihan also discussed the proposed changes in capital rules after the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell laid out a plan on Tuesday to raise big bank capital by 9%, significantly reducing an earlier proposal after intense Wall Street pushback.
莫伊尼漢還討論了資本規則的擬議修改，此前聯儲局主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾週二制定了將大銀行資本籌集9％的計劃，在華爾街的強烈阻力下，大幅減少了先前提出的提案。
Moynihan said the proposed changes are manageable for Bank of America, and it will keep buying back stock, but warned that higher capital requirements for large banks could reduce lending.
莫伊尼漢說，擬議的變更對美國銀行來說是可以控制的，它將繼續回購股票，但他警告說，對大型銀行的更高資本要求可能會減少貸款。
"If our capital goes up by 10%, it stops us from making $160 billion (in) loans we would otherwise make. Those loans would go to small businesses and middle-market companies at competitive rates," he said.
「如果我們的資本增加10％，它將阻止我們發放原本可以發放的1,600億美元（收入）貸款。這些貸款將以具有競爭力的利率發放給小型企業和中間市場公司，」 他說。
Speaking about performance in the third quarter, he said investment banking revenue could be around $1.2 billion, a slight uptick from $1.18 billion in revenue posted in the same quarter a year earlier.
在談到第三季度的業績時，他說，投資銀行收入可能在12億美元左右，較去年同期公佈的11.8億美元收入略有增加。
