Bank of America CEO uses uncommon vocabulary in analyst calls

Reported · Written up by our desk · Sectors

WSJ Markets reports that Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan regularly includes unusual words such as “gainsay,” “concomitant,” and “fantods” in otherwise ordinary sentences during analyst calls.

The outlet frames the word choice as deliberate, rather than accidental, with the “secret word game” aimed at Wall Street audiences.
